Emergency Services and Preparedness

Do you know what it means if you see a car or truck with a flashing green light in its window? The flashing green light means that those drivers are volunteer firefighters on their way to an emergency. If you see a vehicle with a flashing green light, please be courteous and yield the right of way.
