A 6-foot clear space around the circumference of the hydrant will help reduce the time it takes firefighters to hook up hoses if a fire occurs in your neighborhood.
The best time to shovel out a hydrant is after the streets are plowed, before snow accumulates and freezes.

Minnesota Night To Unite (formerly National Night Out) is typically held on the first Tuesday of August. Golden Valley neighborhoods are invited to join cities throughout Minnesota in having potluck dinners, ice cream socials, barbecues, bike parades, etc. Use your imagination and plan something fun!
Watch the City website and social media for details about Night To Unite. For more information on the Night To Unite Food Drive For PRISM, call 763-593-8079. Challenge your neighborhood!
Tours are available at all three fire stations for groups (for example, Scouts, after-school and pre-school programs, Neighborhood Watch, etc). The ideal group size is 15 to 20 people. Special accommodations can be made for larger groups and evening hours. Please try to schedule your tour at least two to three weeks in advance.
