BAA FIRE TIP – FIRE HYDRANTS

Did you know that the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) requires at least 3 feet of clearance around every fire hydrant? This space is essential for firefighters to quickly access and connect their equipment in an emergency.

Please take a moment to check the hydrant closest to your property. If there’s overgrown vegetation, trash bins, or any other obstructions within 3 feet, kindly clear the area.

Your attention to this small but vital detail can make a big difference in an emergency. Let’s help keep our community safe for everyone!
