ADDRESS SIGNS Can Emergency Responders Find Your Home In Your Time
of Need? McKenzie Fire & Rescue is concerned about locating its residents during their time of need. Firefighters, police, and medical personnel often find themselves frustrated when arriving to find several mailboxes at the end of a driveway, unmarked addresses, or addresses that are difficult to read in the dark. Proper identification of your residence may be the difference in saving or losing lives and property. Your fire department is offering a 6"x12" address marker with reflective numbers. The sign is double sided and a pole is provided for mounting. The cost of each sign is $10.00 to cover material expense and will be installed by fire district personnel in order to promote uniformity of placement. Address sign installation is done during the last week of each month. Your emergency responders urge you
to take action today. To order your
address marker, please stop by our administrative office at the Walterville
Station, call us at LIFE
JACKET LENDING PROGRAM McKenzie Fire & Rescue and the McKenzie River Guides Association sponsor the Life Jacket Lending Program. Life Jackets in all sizes are available for the day at the following locations: Mathers Market Walterville Feed Store Ray’s Market Leaburg Country Store Vida Market Riverview Market Harbick’s Country Store Wayfarer Resort Finn Rock Grill The life jackets are lent on an honor system. Please return them when you are finished on the river so others can use them too. All jackets are collected, cleaned and stored each fall. In the spring the jackets are sanitized, fabric protected, and distributed to businesses.
CHIMNEY
BRUSHES To help district residents keep their chimneys and/or stovepipes clean and free of debris, McKenzie Fire & Rescue provides a chimney brush lending program. Brushes in multiple sizes and rods are available for loan at no charge at the Walterville Station during normal business hours.
TOYS FOR TOTS McKenzie Fire & Rescue has a long tradition of supporting the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves Toy for Tots Program. The Fire Department is your local point of contact for the collection of toys for needy children each holiday season. The new, unwrapped toys are dropped off at the collection receptacle located at the Walterville Station. While the Marines organize, coordinate and manage the program, the ultimate success depends on the support of the local community and the generosity of the people who donate toys.
