The Bethel Fire Department was busy throughout the storm, and afterward digging out fire hydrants buried by the snow. Members are calling on the Bethel community to help and be a Hydrant Hero. Anyone who clears a 3-foot radius of a fire hydrant, cleared to the street, is asked to take a selfie and post in the comments on the department's Facebook page. Bethel Fire officials will be one winner to receive two reflective address signs. They note that a fire hydrant is useless if it is buried, and during a house fire, having a reliable source of water is crucial to a successful outcome.
