Assistant Fire Chief Kevin Tappe is asking for help from the Community Emergency Response Team as well as the general public.
If there is a fire hydrant in your neighborhood or on your street, you are asked to shovel it out.
It is a danger to public health if the fire department is unable to access a hydrant and must shovel it out before fighting a fire, he said.
"There should be a clear area around the hydrant about 3 feet wide and a path to the street," Tappe said. "A path to the sidewalk is useless, the path needs to be to the street."
