​Emergencies - Dial 911
If you have a general emergency, please contact us by dialing 911 on your telephone.

When should you use 911?
Dial 9-1-1 for police, fire, and medical service when a emergency response is needed.

What happens when I call 911?
When you dial 9-1-1, your call will be received by a communications specialist who takes your information. Then, the appropriate police, fire, or medical team located in your area is notified and service is dispatched.

How do I use 911?
A quick response depends upon the vital information which you provide about what is happening, its location, and how well your residence and driveway is marked.

  • City you live in and where the incident occurred
  • What is happening
Please stay on the line with the 9-1-1 Communications Specialist until told to disconnect.
