Hall County Fire Services currently is inspecting hydrants in the county to meet requirements of the Insurance Services Office.Hydrants are turned on, water pressure recorded and they are checked to make sure they are easy to operate and hoses can be quickly connected.Hydrants should have a three-foot space cleared around them.“Many times people like to ‘hide’ the hydrant because they believe it is unsightly,” Fire Marshal Scott Cagle said. “This hides the hydrant from responding firefighters and makes our job more difficult.”If anyone has any questions about fire hydrant inspection and maintenance, contact the Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office at 770-531-6838.
