No Parking Sections Near the Fire Hall

Just reminder for parking near the fire hall. -There is no street parking directly across from the salvation army and you cannot park blocking the large driveway (marked by the thick red line in the image below). -We would also encourage you not to park anywhere in the red. Often times vehicles get blocked in when parking at the fire hall as we respond to incidents. -There is Zero parking in front of the fire hall on the cement and asphalt pads.

Preparing a Family Emergency Kit

It's your responsibility to start gathering supplies and start thinking about what your family will need for at least 72 hours in an emergency. https://www.getprepared.gc.ca/cnt/rsrcs/vds/bld-kt/index-en.aspx
