										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>(information via Ottawa By-Law, originally published February 17, 2020)</em></p>
<p><em>La version française suit </em></p>
<p>In an emergency every second counts – and when a fire hydrant is covered in snow, crews lose precious time trying to dig it out.</p>
<p>If a fire hydrant is located on your property, you are responsible for ensuring nothing obstructs access to the hydrant, as per Ottawa&#8217;s Water By-law.</p>
<p>The City encourages you to be a hydrant hero this winter and keep your local hydrant clear of snow. Clearing 1.5 metres around a hydrant maintains access for our firefighters and helps them keep you, your family and your community safe.</p>
<p>Contractors are reminded to not pile snow over or against hydrants when clearing pathways and driveways in the winter.</p>
<p>If you are unable to clear the hydrant on your property, please call 3-1-1.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Devenir un héros des bornes-fontaines cet hiver</h2>
<p>Quand il s’agit d’une urgence, chaque seconde compte et lorsqu’une borne-fontaine est ensevelie sous la neige, nos équipes perdent de précieuses minutes à la dégager.</p>
<p>Si une borne-fontaine est installée sur votre propriété, vous êtes responsable de veiller à ce que l’accès à celle-ci soit bien dégagé, comme le prévoit le Règlement municipal sur l’eau.</p>
<p>La Ville vous invite devenir un héros des bornes-fontaines en veillant à ce que les bornes-fontaines près de chez vous soient déblayées. En gardant un rayon de 1,5 mètre bien dégagé autour des bornes-fontaines, vous maintiendrez l’accès dont les pompiers ont besoin pour assurer votre sécurité et celle de votre famille et de vos voisins.</p>
<p>Les entrepreneurs doivent s’assurer de ne pas recouvrir les bornes-fontaines de neige (entièrement ou en partie) lorsqu’ils déneigent les allées et les entrées, afin qu’en cas d’urgence, l’accès aux bornes soit dégagé.</p>
<p>Si vous ne pouvez pas dégager la borne-fontaine sur votre propriété, composez le 3‑1‑1.</p>
