Rural Metro Fire Department Offers Tips for Thawing Out Frozen Water Sources
One of the most valuable home defense tools to stop a fire is a readily accessible garden hose with attached nozzle.
Quick action with a hose has saved many homes in Josephine County -- but with the cold weather, it won't do much good if it's frozen.
Rural Metro Fire Department says protecting the hose and faucet against freezing is very important because you never know when the hose might be needed to suppress unexpected flames inside or outside your home.
If thawing out anything frozen, consider using warm water rather than using torches or open flame.
Be sure to follow recommendations on portable heaters by providing adequate space of three feet from anything flammable.
