The Camp Creek Volunteer Fire Department is urging residents in their coverage area to take part in the Community Emergency Assistance Register.
The department is urging citizens, especially those who may face difficulty evacuating their home quickly and without assistance to sign up. The information provided will be used strictly for emergency response planning and operational purposes. If the department is dispatched to your address, this register will alert crews that a resident at your location may need immediate, focused evacuation support, allowing the department to respond more efficiently and effectively.
Those interested in signing up should contact the Camp Creek Volunteer Fire Department.
A Message from Camp Creek Volunteer Fire Department
Your safety is our top priority. In an effort to enhance our emergency response capabilities and ensure the well-being of all residents during a fire or other home emergency, the Fire Department is establishing a Community Emergency Assistance Register.
This confidential list is designed to help out first responders identify homes where residents may require extra time or specialized assistance to evacuate safely.
Who Should Register?
We encourage all residents who may face difficulty evacuating their home quickly and without assistance to sign up. This includes, but is not limited to, individuals with:
• Limited Mobility: Use of wheelchairs, walkers, or have conditions that restrict movement.
• Medical Conditions: Dependence on life-sustaining medical equipment or chronic illnesses that could impair rapid movement.
• Sensory/Cognitive Needs: Hearing, visual or cognitive impairments that could prevent recognition of or rapid reaction to a warning alarm.
Registration is entirely voluntary.
How the Register Works
The information provided will be used strictly for emergency response planning and operational purposes. If we are dispatched to your address, this register will alert our crews that a resident at your location may need immediate, focused evacuation support, allowing us to respond efficiently and effectively.
All information will be kept confidential and will not be shared with outside agencies or used for any other purpose.
