“We have had a lot of hydrants with the snow stacked on top of snow,” he said. “It’s just been tough to get them all dug down and ready to go (for emergencies).”

The decision to release the map was a way for residents to know how they can help firefighters due to underlying problems that come with uncleared fire hydrants and fighting fires.

The difference two to three minutes can make is due to the available water on a fire truck. Bennett said a hose line on a truck carries 500 gallons of water that flows about 160 gallons per minute.

Now, residents can see where those fire hydrants are and clear them, so as firefighters travel around Ames, they can update the map.

Another issue that Bennett said comes with needing to clear a fire hydrant is the firefighter digging in the snow having to come back to help the crew.

Bennett said after last weekend’s blizzard, residents shared their concern with the fire department regarding where the fire hydrants were in their neighborhood so they could do their part to help the department.

“Firefighters that make the hydrant connection have to come back in the crew to fight the fire,” he said. “That’s one more person that can’t drag out a victim or fight a fire because of that.”
