•Th e IFP• H alton H ills, Thursday, February 6, 2014 9 With this latest bout of ice and snow over the past week, the quick visual iden- tification of fire hydrants has been great- ly hindered. Residents are being asked to uncover fire hydrants near their homes. "The co-operation of all residents and private snow removal contractors is cru- cial to ensure emergency services can quickly access the fire hydrants in the event of an emergency," said Fire Chief Brent Marshall. "Keep in mind, that this emergency access may be neces- sary to save your home or that of your neighbours'. Please spread the word and where possible, help a friend or neigh- bour if necessary." Mayor Rick Bonnette added, "Resi- dents and businesses can make a big difference by ensuring fire hydrants are clear of snow and are accessible. Dur- ing an emergency, valuable seconds can be lost by firefighters trying to locate a buried hydrant. Residents and business- es are strongly encouraged to keep this in mind when clearing snow from side- walks and driveways." Fire Chief urges residents to dig out the fire hydrants Reader Alice Rice of Gollop Cres. has noticed many fire hydrants on the neighbourhood boule- vards have "disappeared" into the snow banks. Recently her hus- band dug out the buried hydrant a few houses down from their home. She snapped this photo, submitting it to The IFP, in the hope more people will dig out the fire hydrants. Rice also urges residents to be courteous to all residents by clearing the sidewalk in front of their houses, providing safer conditions for children and adults alike. 106-99 Sinclair Ave., Georgetown 905-877-9998 "Your Health is Our Concern" Mon 9am-8pm Tues 9am-8pm Wed 9am-8pm Open Sundays (starting in March) Male and female Family Physicians accepting new patients Cardiologist on site Cosmetic clinic - Botox, Fillers, Laser treatment on site WALK-IN CLINIC OPENWALK-IN CLINIC OPEN Thurs 9am-8pm Fri 9am-7pm Sat 9am-2pm Dr. Seegobin Cosmetic Clinic 99 Sinclair Ave #106, Georgetown 905-702-9988 www.drseegobincosmeticclinic.com This Spring, look and feel 10 years younger without surgery $100 off any package Our services include: • Laser Hair Removal - Painless and Safe, done under doctors supervision • Botox/xeomin injections for wrinkles/lines • Botox/xeomin injections for excessive sweating • Fillers for non-surgical face lift, wrinkles/deep lines • Skin tightening using radio frequency • Photofacials for pigmented spots and rosacea • Skin care products from Vivier Limited time free consultation
