Adopt-A-Hydrant

Help Save Lives by Clearing HydrantsKeep them Clear

Time is of the essence during a fire emergency, and every second matters. Following a snowfall, some fire hydrants in Vadnais Heights can become a little hidden under the snow. That's where you can make a difference!

The brave firefighters of Vadnais Heights require a three-foot cleared area around each fire hydrant, as well as a three-foot wide path leading to it from the street. We invite all residents to join the "Adopt-A-Hydrant" movement in their neighborhoods and ensure these life-saving resources are easily accessible after every snowfall.

If you're physically unable to shovel a hydrant on your property, we kindly encourage you to reach out to a neighbor for assistance. Together, we can help keep our community safe and ensure that our firefighters have quick and easy access to the hydrants they need.

If you are already unofficially adopting a hydrant, thank you for your continuous invaluable support!
