As the summer has gotten significantly warmer and the amount of dry grass in the area increases, so does the chance for fires. When the Thermopolis Volunteer Fire Department responds on a scene, they often need access to a hydrant, but that can be impeded due to tall grass, signs or vehicles.

It’s also important to remember that hydrants are not posts on which to put up signs, as t...
