Winter Fire Safety Posters - Adopt a Hydrant



After we had assembled a group of winter fire safety posters we came upon the idea of adopting a hydrant as a theme....seems it was not an original idea - but one we liked nonetheless!

We found two Adopt A Hydrant programs online - Fairfax, Virginia and Southfield, Michigan and we salute your cities for doing this.
ICE4SAFETY would like everyone with snow to venture out to their nearest Fire Hydrant and Shovel or Snowblow the little fellas out. It may be double digits below zero with wind chill when you shovel, but imagine the firefighter who may have just been roused from his warm home to fight your fire in that temperature come 0300Hrs.

You can find the new posters on the ICE website http://www.ice4safety.com/diy.html in a zipped file. Want to design some for others to use? Have some neat pics we can use? Use your email and send them along. Full credit given.

Slide show is temporarily down - please visit the ICE4SAFETY website to download the fire safety posters.

NEXT TIME YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS A PANCAKE BREAKFAST OR SOME OTHER PUBLIC FUNCTION, YOU MIGHT CONSIDER POPPING A FEW OF THESE POSTERS ON TABLES FOR PEOPLE TO SEE - THEY WILL GET THE HINT. LOCAL BOY SCOUTS CAN PASS THESE OUT DOOR TO DOOR IN AREAS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT MIGHT NEED A HELPING HAND COME WINTER! THIS IS REAL EASY FOLKS.
