When Do You Need
to Call Us?
Our local fire
stations receive a multitude of calls when floods, windstorms, winter weather
or other natural disasters or emergencies occur. We urge you to always call
9-1-1 in any situation when you feel there is an actual or impending fire or
related medical emergency, but please be aware that our staff and resources
must be dedicated to true emergencies. For instance, a downed power line is a
hazard, and the local power company should be notified of all fallen lines.
Call 9-1-1 only if you see the line is sparking and causing a potential fire
hazard.
