GFC Firefighters on Stand-by For Season’s First Snowstorm

 Hostmaster 911 Hot Designs    January 23, 2016    No Comments

 

 

Firefighters will be on stand-by a the GFC fire station from Friday evening January 22 to Sunday January 24 to respond to any emergency calls that may arise.

All apparatus has been checked out and is combat ready. Snow shovels, rock salt, tire chains, chain saws, a snow blower and a 3kW emergency generator are at the ready.

If you absolutely must venture out during the storm, dress in layers. If you must drive, drive with extreme caution. Blowing snow will make visibility low and slippery road conditions will exist.

If an emergency situation should arise, do not hesitate to call 911. We are here to serve.
