After a major snowfall, to the extent they are able, we always encourage our residents to be proactive with this effort and keep hydrants on or near their property clear and free of snow and debris.
⚠️Snow shoveling can be more dangerous than it looks.
Every year we respond to back injuries, falls, and even heart attacks related to clearing snow.
Take it slow. Push snow instead of lifting when possible. Lift small loads. Stay hydrated. And know your limits.
❄️Don’t forget your pets!🐶
⚡️Electricity is powerful, and dangerous when not handled safely.
