Follow the law: Never park in front of a hydrant!

No matter how bad it snows, never park in front of a hydrant. Help out your local Fire Department

Per the Ohio Revised Code 4511.68 Parking – Prohibited acts: No person shall stand or park a trackless trolley or vehicle, within ten feet of a fire hydrant.

Know the differences between frostbite and hypothermia

Know the differences between frostbite and hypothermia. Keep warm!

Frostbite: loss of feeling and white or pale appearance in extremities such as fingers, toes, ear lobes, and the tip of the nose. Get medical help immediately.

Hypothermia: uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion. If symptoms of hypothermia are detected, get the victim to a warm location, remove wet clothing, warm the center of the body first and give warm, non-alcoholic beverages if the victim is conscious. Get medical help as soon as possible.
