Dear Citizens,
I am proud to share an exciting new initiative that will enhance our ability to protect and serve our community: First Due Community Connect. This innovative platform empowers residents and business owners to partner with our department by securely sharing critical information to help us respond more effectively during emergencies.
First Due Community Connect directly supports the mission of Southern Area Fire and Emergency Rescue:
"To protect the lives and property of the citizens and visitors of the SAFER first due and mutual aid communities from fires, natural disasters, and hazardous incidents; to save lives by providing emergency medical services and to prevent fires through prevention and education programs. This will be accomplished by the corporation’s dedicated members being committed to teamwork, continuous improvement, and professionalism."
Through Community Connect, you can:
- Register your property and provide vital details, such as access points, medical needs, pets, and hazardous materials.
- Share important information about family members, including mobility concerns, that will help us deliver the best possible care during emergencies.
- Enhance the speed and efficiency of our responses during fires, medical calls, and other critical incidents.
The information you provide is kept secure and is accessible only to first responders during emergencies. By joining Community Connect, you are strengthening our ability to fulfill our mission of protecting lives and property while fostering a safer, more prepared community.
At SAFER, our dedicated members are committed to teamwork, continuous improvement, and professionalism. Tools like First Due Community Connect enable us to carry out this mission with greater precision and effectiveness. I encourage all citizens to participate in this initiative and help us make our community safer for everyone.
Thank you for your trust and partnership. Together, we are building a stronger and more resilient future.
Sincerely,
