FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
From: Crescent Chief Keven Mahner
To our local residents, we will notice an increase of traffic due to a construction project of highway 51 between highway 8 and county road L. Local travel times are expected to increase during this project.
Due to this, we have implemented plans if an unfortunate event shall happen on the highway. All our neighboring departments will help eachother and resources will be called for early. We shall continue to adapt to the various changes of our environment to provide quality emergency services.
For the safety of everyone, our department will continue to follow our road closure policy. If an unfortunate event happens, our volunteers prioritize the event/person needing help over traffic. We ask for patience during these times knowing that responders will get traffic flowing when possible.
As your volunteer professionals, we relay on our education, training, and experience to guide our decisions.
Thank you,
Chief Mahner
