GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Kids can help Green Bay firefighters this winter in a task that comes with sweet rewards.

The fire department is launching its annual “Hydro Helpers” program, encouraging children to adopt a local fire hydrant.

Their mission is to keep the hydrant clear of snow all winter and report any damages.
