Two malfunctioning hydrants that hindered Carbondale firefighters during a blaze Sunday morning were last checked in June and worked fine, according to Pennsylvania American Water Co. The hydrants near the fire at 39 Canaan St., as well as the other hydrants in the city, are included in an annual check of company-owned fire hydrants, which number about 7,700 in the region, company spokeswoman Susan Turcmanovich said.
