We are excited to announce the Town & Country Fire District will now be offering Roth ID tags for our community. Roth ID tags provide responders with critical information in the event of an emergency. These tags allow responders access to pertinent medical history, allergies, and emergency contacts. If anyone has questions on how these work or to register your tag, we have included the link to their website below. Residents of our fire district can stop by the station for one free tag, additional tags can be purchased for $10 each. Please bring photo ID/proof of address for documentation. Thank You.
