Report an Emergency

The fire department is a community helper. The firefighters will help if there is an emergency such as a fire, a smoke alarm sounding, or someone hurt. There are many types of emergencies with which the fire department can help. Everyone in the home should know the emergency phone number to call to get help from the fire department. Most communities have 9-1-1, but some communities have a complete telephone number to call.
