This is nothing new that the fire department has a plow on their truck, I totally agree that all fire departments should have their own plow for emergencies, and for fire hydrants you know what the Village Of Ridgewood payed fire department can send out a small crew and clean out around hydrants. You can’t expect residence to start scraping chipping away heavy frozen snow and ice around a hydrant come on now and all fire hydrants should be marked with a fiberglass flag like all the towns do that should be put in a budget
Thanks for that enlightening contribution. I feel whole now.

I get a break on my home owners insurance because of a fire hydrant in front of my house. Takes five minutes to clear snow when i clear the sidewalk.
Seems there are some village employees/idiots who complain about everything. Get off the blog and get to work!
The residents with a brain understand the fire hydrant is there for them, to put water on their house if it’s burning, or on a neighbor’s house if that’s burning. We have become a nation of buttercups.
The village has a paid fire department, how would that look if resident’s or other departments are digging out snow around a fire hydrant, and then you just drive right past them . No don’t think so.
That’s part of the paid fire department, or sometimes they bring in the volunteer fight department to assist them. It seems to me that someone doesn’t like freedom of speech. You have to remember President Biden is no longer in office. You can voice your opinion. We feel that tax payers of the town of Ridgewood would like to see the paid fight department conduct this duty. When is part of their duty. No one else’s responsibility thank you have a great day and yes, please stay on the blog.
You sound like a real fool because you’re a fire hydrant in front of your house, let me clear the snow around it. Are you going to repaint it in the spring, I have a straight sign in front of my house. Should I maintain that to clean it and paint it it’s leaning. Should I repair it. What about the storm drain in front of my house? Should I clean that out too? Should I repair the curbs in front of my house that are all banged up, repair the sidewalks in front of my house, too, and while I’m at it, the village tree trees, the street, so on, Wake up
Thats right you are responsible for the sidewalks on your property.
As much as I would like to disagree with Chief Runs Off at the Mouth, homeowners in NJ are not liable for general maintenance of sidewalks.
they are the home owners responsibility and you will get a ticket if your neighbors complain, besides its rude and you look like a dirt bag and a total lazy POS
Neighbors can complain however much they want and cops can write all manner of fraudulent tickets, but I’ll have it thrown out immediately.
sorry not true
it what happens when the classless low live move into town , in the old days you would have been “forced “to sell your home in Ridgewood if you where a flagrant Piece of sh$t
I would love to know how much money I save because I have a fire hydrant in front of my house. And I would love to know how much money I save on my homeowners insurance because we have a paid fire department and coming back to the fire hydrants. Don’t tell me that you can’t take a few men from each department. On Glen Avenue , take a few of the crew from each department and go out and clean a few hydrants here and there, we didn’t get that much snow.
That plow must have a hard time turning around in the Dunkin’ Donuts parking lot !
Let me tell you something, the fire department is one political, big cash cow in town. How about we discuss the overtime budget, my family owns five dwellings in town, and I would never ever touch a fire hydrant, the water department installs them, and maintains them, flushes them out, I’m not sure paints them. And it’s the fire department responsibility to clean the store around them no one else.And yes they all should have some kind of a marker on them. They do make a different kinds. It’s a good thing so you know where they’re located by looking down the block when there’s emergency, not just in Snow, what about and leaves that’s a big one they’re constantly being covered up by Landscaper’s homeowners what have you. So when you do have a marking they’re sticking up a few feet and it’s an excellent thing. And the fire department can go out throughout the night and clean up around fire hydrants. They’re on call 24 seven if there’s no fires throughout the night, you could put a few guys out and do that no excuse.
Let’s see the village manager go out with the fire department and clean hydrants that would be a great photo, and he would actually be the first village manager with the fire department doing that. He would make history.
Well, it’s snowing again , and there’s no fires so get out there and stop cleaning around the hydrants.
