District crews are calling this holiday season the \u201c2022 Muskoka SnowGlobe\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Snow has completely covered, and buried us in Muskoka. Muskoka has nearly 2100 hydrants \u2013 just like a car parked in front of a hydrant, snow can cover them, block access and cause delays in an emergency. This amount of snow means a specialized hero is needed in communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wanted: Hydrant Heroes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The District is encouraging families to assign a \u201cHydrant Hero\u201d \u2013 &nbsp;one who can help our Public Works crews and emergency services teams by keeping 1.5 metres clear around their neighbourhood hydrant. These heroes are very important in helping monitor snow levels around their local hydrant&nbsp;and shoveling snow away to prevent a buildup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Timing is critical in times of emergency &#8211; here\u2019s how you and your family can help:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take a moment to clear your 911 number and make sure it\u2019s visible from the roadway \u2013 this way, Muskoka Paramedic Services can identify your location quicker. If you have an emergency, make sure Paramedics can access your home (both inside and out), and clear any obstacles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have a fire hydrant in your neighbourhood? Assign a \u201cHydrant Hero\u201d in your family to check on it, ensure it\u2019s visible and keep access available for crews who need it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We rely on fire hydrants for many reasons and we all know their importance when there\u2019s a fire. Timing is critical. If a hydrant is buried &#8211; every second wasted shoveling it out is valuable time that could drastically impact the outcome if you need help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The District of Muskoka and our partner municipalities are actively clearing snow and continuing snow removal efforts. We appreciate the continued patience, support and understanding of our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Significant Weather Event for the District of Muskoka remains in effect on December 26, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The District of Muskoka and partner municipalities are encouraging families to clear 911 signs, so property numbers are visible, and be a \u201cHydrant Hero\u201d in their neighbourhoods this winter.
