Your Voice Counts When Seconds Matter!

When you call 911, what happens next depends on decisions being made right now.

Emergency calls in our community have nearly doubled — but paramedic and firefighter staffing has not. Equipment and stations are aging, and the cost of providing emergency services continues to rise.

The choices you can help us make today will determine the quality of the help that arrives tomorrow.
