The Albany Fire Department is asking residents and community businesses to adopt their neighborhood fire hydrants during this winter season. They can do this by clearing accumulated snow around hydrants near their homes and places of employment.  By keeping the snow removed from around the hydrants, precious time is saved for the Fire Department in case of a fire.  The house you save might just be your own!

The Albany Fire Department thanks all the residents in the past that have "adopted" the fire hydrant in their neighborhood and helped to keep the fire hydrant clear and visible. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
