KEEP HYDRANTS CLEAR

While you’re shoveling, help Cohasset Fire by clearing snow away from the closest fire hydrant near your home or business. It’s a simple way to support emergency response efforts. A small effort can make a big difference!

[Cohasset Police @CohassetPolice]

Officers have responded to multiple calls with trees down/wires involved. If you come across down or low hanging wires, do not approach and call 9-1-1 as the wires may be live.

No major roads are blocked. National Grid is working in the areas of Aaron River Road and Fern Way.
