Do you know what a green flashing light on a vehicle means?

When the call for help comes in, our volunteers may be at their regular job, at the beach with family or sleeping in the middle of the night. They drop what they are doing and immediately respond to the fire station in their private vehicle. The flashing green light is used only as an identifier to the drivers of other vehicles so that they may give up their right-of-way and allow the firefighter to get to the station unimpeded.

If you see a flashing green light in the Township of Leeds and Thousand Islands, please pullover.

Every second counts in an emergency!
