The Board Of Fire Commissioners wants to remind everyone to dial 911 in the event of a real emergency. 911 is not to be taken likely, it is a system which gets you needed help in the event of a real emergency. If you need police, an ambulance or fire company this is the number to dial. Everyone must know not to call in false alarms. When this happens the police, ambulance or fire companies responding may have a real emergency while going to a false alarm call. Someone could die or loose their home over this because of a late arrival. Calling in false alarms is against the law. As parents we need to teach our children about 911 and why it is important to use it the right way. As adults we need to set the example for our children and everyone around us. Young or old we can do it together. So remember the little girl wearing the hat with 911 on it with the big red telephone and the yellow banner, "CALL 911 - HELP IS ON THE WAY"!!!
