Don't come to us, dial 911 and we will come to you!
Often, rather than dial 911, residents come to the fire station when they feel ill or are injured. We prefer that you stay where you are and DIAL 911. When you dial 911 you are immediately connected to our dispatch center. The dispatch center calls us and an ambulance if needed. By not dialing 911, you are delaying your care by several minutes. Those minutes may be crucial to saving your life or the life of some one you love.
You are welcome to request a silent approach. This means that we will not sound the siren as we approach your residence.
