Moorhead asking residents to 'adopt' a fire hydrant

(Moorhead, MN) -- The City of Moorhead is looking for 'Hydrant Heros' to keep community fire hydrants clear of debris, ice and snow.

The Adopt-A-Hydrant program is looking for volunteers to help keep the more than 2,000 fire hydrants within the city clear and easily accessible for first responders. The program asks volunteers to keep a 3ft clearing in all directions around the hydrant and a cleared path connected to the street. 

The 'Adopt-A-Hydrant' program is a collaboration between Moorhead Public Service and the City of Moorhead Fire Department.
