❄️ **Help Keep Our Community Safe — Clear Snow Around Fire Hydrants** ❄️

With the incoming storm in the forecast, we ask all residents to please help keep fire hydrants near your home clear of snow.

In an emergency, firefighters rely on quick access to hydrants — and when there’s a fire, every second counts. Taking a few minutes to clear snow around hydrants can make a critical difference.

Thank you for helping protect our community and supporting your local firefighters. 🚒

The Chiefs, officers and members of the Islip Terrace Fire Department extends our heartfelt condolences to the Nassau County Police Department and the family and friends of Officer Patricia Espinosa. May she rest in peace and her family and fellow police officers find comfort and strength in her memory during this difficult time.

We're asking residents to please clear snow and ice from around fire hydrants!

We're noticing a lot of fire hydrants are still buried under snow and ice. Every second counts when dealing with fire emergencies! Having to locate a hydrant, then shoveling it out will significantly delay us being able to hook up our hoses. Please clear a three-foot radius around nearby hydrants, and ensure there’s a clear path from the street. We appreciate your help!
