Patch Community Challenge: Clear Those Hydrants

Do you have a fire hydrant near your property that you can dig out from under all the snow? Or you just happen to see one when you have a shovel in hand? Let us know about your good deed.

Send in photos of you clearing the hydrant to michelle.sartor@patch.com and we'll post it on the site for recognition and give you some goodies, like a Patch pen, for your efforts.

The is asking residents to help with the clearing efforts, saying that taking the time to clear the hydrants could save your home if a fire breaks out.
