A cop in Dorchester called in saying that every fire hydrant on Westville St was buried in snow and ice and he asked that the fire department be notified. He was told that the fire department no longer digs out hydrants but he would notify public works who are in charge of them. A short time later the cop was told that neither the public works nor the fire department dug them out and in fact the Mayor had started a community awareness program asking residents to dig out hydrants. The cop told the dispatcher that a terribly dangerous situation existed and someone should dig out the neighborhood hydrants because the awareness program was not working. Jokingly the dispatcher told the cop to bring his shovel to work with him. What a dire situation, the firemen don't dig out hydrants, public works has no shovels and the neighborhood doesn't care about their safety. So it is that the hydrants on Westville St remain buried and no City department is responsible. This is just another reason to dislike City employees. 1/30/2011 11:47 AM EST ------------------------- I thought I heard BFD on BFD Ch1 (483.1625R) talking about shoveling hydrants ??????
