Snow piled or shov- <br />eled close to hydrants restricts operation during a fire emergency. <br />After a snowfall the Public Works Department is responsible for clearing <br />snow from city streets. Depending on the amount and type of snow this could <br />take several days. We are requesting your help in keeping our fire hydrants <br />accessible. Please clear a four-foot circle around the hydrant near your home to <br />assure easy access for our Fire Department. <br />If you have any questions or comments, please call John Nelson, Ramsey <br />Fire Department at 763-427-8254. Thank you for your efforts! <br /> <br />Snowplowing <br />Policies <br />on Website <br /> <br />+ <br /> <br />For information regarding <br />snowplowing policies and FAQ's <br />please refer to the city's website at <br />www.ci.ramsey.mn.us then go to <br />Departments and Public Works.

However, one of the <br />most common misconceptions about <br />warning sirens is that they will alert <br />you to dangerous conditions even <br />when you are indoors. While some <br />people may live close enough to hear <br />the sirens indoors, this is not their <br />intended purpose. They are designed <br />to advise people who are outside that <br />a hazardous condition exists or is <br />approaching. Newer structures are <br />insulated better and are more likely <br />to keep sound out and sirens cannot <br />be made louder to penetrate buildings <br />because doing so would pose a dan- <br />ger to the hearing of people who are <br />outdoors. A battery operated radio or <br />TV is the best way to stay advised of <br />possible dangerous conditions when <br />indoors. <br />Sirens in Anoka County are <br />tested on the first Wednesday of each <br />month at 1 :00 p.m. The first test is <br />comprised of a steady signal for <br />approximately one minute. A second <br />test follows, which consists of a <br />series of short blasts or a wavering <br />(warbling) tone. The second test also <br />lasts approximately one minute. In an <br />actual emergency, sirens will sound <br />for longer than one minute, between <br />three to five minutes, and then will <br />be repeated when the emergency or <br />situation has passed. <br /> <br />+ <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />www.ci.ramsey.mn.us <br /> <br />-+- <br />
