Our ambulance serves over 180 square miles including Sherburn, Welcome, Ceylon, Dunnell, and the surrounding rural areas. A full roster consists of 25 men and women.

The Sherburn Fire Department would like to remind you that a clearly visible, accessible fire hydrant could save your home – or even your life. If a fire hydrant is lost or buried in snow, firefighters can lose valuable time trying to locate it when they first arrive at a fire. You can perform a valuable public service and protect yourself, your family and your neighbors by taking the responsibility for shoveling out and clearing any fire hydrants near your home during and after a snowstorm. With more snow sure to be on the way, we’d like to offer these suggestions:

• Know the location of all fire hydrants in your neighborhood.
• Make sure they are shoveled clear after each snowfall.
• Clear away any snow and ice in the area surrounding these fire hydrants.
• Clear the snow three feet all around the hydrant so firefighters have enough room to connect a hose.

We would also like to remind you to look out for your elderly or handicap neighbors as well, by taking a few extra minutes to shovel out their hydrants.

Please take some time now to save precious minutes in case of a fire. A few scoops of snow today could make all the difference later. Thank you for your cooperation!
