Community Outreach & Education
The concept of serving the community is a fundamental part of the Golden Valley Fire Department.
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.
Learn how to shovel out your fire hydrant by watching the video below.
Night To Unite
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!
