"In Case of Emergency." or ICE

 

This program was first developed in England and is spreading to the United States.  Very simply, cell phone users make an entry into their cell phone’s address book with the indicator: ICE which stands for "In Case of Emergency." 

 

ICE numbers listed in a cell phone address book should contain the phone numbers of individuals the subscriber would like to have contacted in the event of an emergency.

 

This entry should be made specific by denoting the ICE entry as: ICE MOM, ICE DAD, etc. for quicker reference.  Subscribers are encouraged to make more than one ICE entry in their address book in the event that ICE entries cannot be reached.

 

The ICE program aids in times of emergencies and can facilitate the return of a lost cell phone.

 

Adopt a Hydrant Program

 

The Snowmass-Wildcat Fire Protection District believes in community involvement.  One thing the community can do to help is to become a member of the “Adopt a Hydrant Program”.  This program was created to help keep fire hydrants clear and ready for use.  Citizens and civic groups can adopt a hydrant or hydrants within the Fire District.

 

Residents who adopt hydrants will help by keeping hydrants clear of snow in the winter and overgrowth in the summer.  Residents would not be required to perform any maintence but would report blocked or damaged hydrants.  

 

To sign up, please call the SWFPD at (970) 923-2212 and let us know which hydrant you would like to adopt.
