Well, they didn't suggest it specifically for children, but the DPW and Wellesley Fire-Rescue Department are asking for the public's assistance in clearing fire hydrants of snow in your neighborhood. There are more than 1,400 hydrants in Wellesley and each one is potentially vital in the event of an emergency, they say.
