With winter here and snow on the way, the Indianola Fire Department wants to remind residents to clear the snow around fire hydrants as well as clearing the driveway and sidewalks. The department says that per the fire code, residents must clear a five foot radius around any nearby fire hydrants, and doing so can save precious seconds or even minutes if the hydrant is buried and unseen in the event of a fire.
