Description
Fire Hydrants. Murray Hill Park. Murray Hill Road. What is going on with them. Meaning that if we have a fire one fire hydrant is painted black and the other one is painted red. Meaning that if we have a fire we have fire hydrants that are marked worthless to the fireman and our home that could be on fire. This has been brought to engineering's attention multiple times along with Johns attention multiple times over a period of 2 years. Not to mention that we have been living here with fire hydrants that have been giving us a false sense of security. We know the status. What are you doing about it and why has this been going on so long. All concerns are well documented. We don't feel safe. I understand the fire hydrants near Malden Hospital also have there own problems. Time is of the essence when there us a fire. We don't have that level if security. Please fix this.

Leo, the concern is that hydrant is inoperable. The various colors you see on malden fire hydrants indicate The flow rate. You can Google NFPA 291to learn more. Basically Green is good.. yellow orange is so so...and black means dead. Its not decreative, it tells firefighters whether to even bother wasting precious minutes if there's a fire... Now supposedly there's plans to pump water from near by hydrants when cases like dead hydrants arrise, but the other near by hydrants have low flow rates and murray hill park is well a tall hill off murray hill road, another hill...another concern would be knowing if theres adequate pressure to pump all that water uphill in a moments notice.
I still cant believe there's seems to be some acceptable level of inoperable hydrants that are allowed to linger for years in malden...not days..

This is an issue affecting the entire city of Malden, and apparently for a long time. I have asked several city representatives including Bob Knox, Yem Lip and Kevin Halpin - via this forum and other means - if there is a fire safety risk due to low water pressure across the city, and if so how this can be addressed. If money is the issue, then let's work together and find the needed funds.
To date I have not received a response from anyone. This silence speaks volumes.
Bob, Yem, Kevin, Mayor Christenson and others reading this forum: please do not let our houses burn down due to ongoing inaction addressing a known problem. How would you feel if a non-working fire hydrant was located directly outside your own home?
