To our members of our community:
Our department is asking you to please follow these precautions during the COVID-19 outbreak.
If you are quarantined (mandatory or self imposed) in your home due to possible or confirmed COVID-19 exposure, PLEASE notify 911 when you call and advise the dispatcher.
We also ask that you place a sign/note on your front door to alert our firefighters to take infection-prevention precautions before entering your home or business.
We will still continue to respond to ANY and ALL EMERGENCIES but please do not be alarmed if we ask several questions about possible sickness or quarantine prior to is entering. Please keep in mind that we need to protect our crews so that they will be able to continue to meet the emergency needs of the community. Elsewhere, there have been entire fire companies quarantined after they have responded to quarantined homes and were not alerted before entering. Those first responders are now unavailable to help anyone for at least 14 days.
Thank you for your understanding. Stay safe and healthy.
