Reader ” I pay tax’s for a paid fire dept and the should remove the snow around the hydrants, and in the spring and summer you all can repaint them too.”
Ridgewood NJ, So you think someone else is responsible for clearing the snow from your fire hydrant , guess again. The New Jersey Assembly has just passed a bill pushing for better snow removal around fire hydrants.
The measure would allow cities and towns to enforce stricter rules for people who have fire hydrants on their property calls for locator poles to be placed on every hydrant and requires the hydrants to be cleared of snow within 24 hours.
Reader , “The best way to stir up debate on this blog is to ask people to do something. It is guaranteed to get the “I pay taxes” crowd riled up. Community spirit? Nope! Entitlement? Yup! These people are how Ridgewood is viewed by others. Lazy, entitled snobs. Is that how you want Ridgewood to be seen? Clear the fire hydrants. Clear your sidewalks.”
Reader, “People are you kidding? i will bet you will be the first to bitch when your house burns down because the fd couldnt get to the fire hydrant because of your lazzy ass will not uncover a hydrant ”
