🚨ANCHORAGE🚨
Now *THIS* is a well-loved fire hydrant!! Yesterday... before Mother Nature ruined everything by turning up the heat and throwing rain at us 😖... Ms. Ali Odell spent her time meticulously clearing out five and a half hydrants in her neighborhood. It's important hydrants are clear before an emergency occurs so can get 💦water💦 on a 🔥fire🔥 as soon as possible. Just look at that beautiful, snow-free three-foot diameter and nice path... it gives us all the feels 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you, Ms. Odell, for turning your love of your Spenard community into a potentially lifesaving action.
