Adopt a Hydrant
Adopt-a-Hydrant Program
Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District is asking for YOUR help to protect YOUR home and neighborhood.
If you can adopt we ask that you keep your hydrant:
- visible and accessible
- report damage or leakage
There are 761 hydrants in the TDFPD Fire District that need to be shoveled and kept cleared each winter.
- Please shovel the area around the fire hydrant after each snowfall. Clear an area approximately four(4) feet around the hydrant as well as a path from the street or roadway(Northern Nevada Fire Amendments).
- DO NOT repair, paint, personalize, or change the appearance of the hydrant in any way. Hydrant cap colors provide critical available water flow information to firefighters.
Please report any hydrant problems to TDFPD at prevention@tahoefire.org
Please send photos of your snow cleared hydrants to social@tahoefire.org
Show us your snow-clearing skills and help keep our community safe! Snap a before-and-after photo of your snow-cleared hydrant, and send it to us. As a thank you, we’ll send you a free Tahoe Douglas Fire Coffee Mug! Let’s work together to ensure that our fire hydrants are always accessible, even in the snowiest conditions. Clear a path, snap a pic, and enjoy your new coffee mug!
