West Lincoln Fire & Emergency Services Launches Green Light Awareness Campaign
For Immediate Release: July 20, 2022
Signs are being installed throughout the Township of West Lincoln this week, reminding drivers to yield to green flashing lights.
West Lincoln is served by 47 on-call volunteer firefighters who are equipped, trained and ready to respond to a variety of emergency situations with the common goal of keeping residents safe.
Volunteer firefighters are equipped with green flashing lights in their personal vehicles, to indicate when they are responding to an emergency.
Drivers are asked to please pull over when they see a vehicle with a green flashing light, and allow them to pass quickly and safely. This simple courtesy can have a big impact, as every second counts in emergency response.
For important notifications and updates, follow West Lincoln Fire & Emergency Services and the Township of West Lincoln on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @WestLincolnFire and @WestLincolnFire.
