As we prepare for the possibility of severe weather, FCVFD would like to remind everyone of a few important safety tips:
β οΈ Turn Around, Don't Drown! Never attempt to drive through a flooded roadway. You never know how deep the water may be or if the roadway underneath has been washed away.
β‘ Stay Away From Downed Power Lines! Always treat downed power lines as LIVE. Keep your distance and report them to the proper authorities.
π Know Who to Call! For emergencies, dial 911. For non-emergency assistance, contact the non-emergency dispatch line at (256) 350-4613.
We encourage everyone to remain weather-aware throughout the weekend, have multiple ways to receive weather alerts, and take the necessary precautions to keep themselves and their families safe.
Our crews will be ready to respond and assist our community in any way we can should the need arise.
Stay safe, Flint City!
