Pleasant Hope Fire Protection District adds dry hydrant

The Pleasant Hope Fire Protection District recently installed a dry fire hydrant in the northern part of their district. No reliable water source was available for fire department use in this area requiring the department to haul water long distances during emergency incidents. Jim and Nancy McDaniel recently constructed a large lake on their property located on EE Highway in the Schofield area and allowed the district to install the hydrant at this location. Jim and son Bryan McDaniel, who owns a local excavation company, donated the equipment and time to assist department members with the installation. The district would like to say thank you to the McDaniel family for providing this much needed resource to the members of the community.
