Adopt a Hydrant Program
The Runnemede Fire Department is once again asking our residents to help us out by making sure your nearest fire hydrant is clear and accessible to our Firefighters. During snow storms, please take the time to make sure your neighborhood hydrant is clear of snow, at least 3 feet around and a clear path to the plowed area of the street. This will save crews valuable time if there is a fire on your street. Thank you for your help!
