We see a lot of fall injuries in our community, and data shows falls as some of the leading injuries that Fire/EMS sees.

Here are some tips for you to consider in your home.

In addition, PFD wants to add these tips that will help dispatch and arriving first responders:

1. Are you on any blood thinners? Such as Eliquis. (This is very important due to the increase risk of internal bleeding.)

2. Did you hit your head when you fell?

3. Do you recall the event/fall?

This is very important information that can help us help you.

Also, keep in mind that we do have fall prevention handouts.

We also have an emergency medical information magnets. These will allow you to write all of your important information such as medicines, allergies, medical conditions, and emergency contacts.

These are all free for you that will help us during an emergency.

For the month of May crews will be conducting hydrant testing on the south end of the township. Please be mindful and give crews space as you pass them and give them a friendly wave! This testing is a requirement for ISO ratings and also ensures we get the flow out of the hydrants that we need for fires.

Residents on municipal water may notice intermittent water pressure decrease and debris in water. This is normal, run your water until the debris runs clean.

If you have any prolonged issues please call the department at (231)223-4443.
