Clearing the area around the drains will help prevent flooding/ponding, and clearing around the hydrants - well, if there'd be a fire, and seconds count, having clear access to the hydrants will be a HUGE help to firefighters. </span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> On Friday, January 23, 2015 7:34 PM, Dwight Holmes <dwightrholmes@gmail.com> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv7000841895"><div dir="ltr">Andre -<div>Since town offices are closed for the weekend, I will answer what I can - please understand I cannot speak authoritatively, however!
