There is no simpler way of letting our firefighters know who to contact should you be involved in an accident than by using ICE.

Standing for In Case of Emergency, ICE will allow paramedics police officers to quickly contact persons who can be informed of the incident.

When 9-1-1 is called many times the victims are unconscious and unable to inform paramedics of important information such as:

• Previous Medical Condition
• Medications
• Name and Address
• Significant Contacts

You can make our jobs easier by entering this contact number into your cellular phone, giving your information to a loved one or confidential friend. To take advantage of this simple program you should:

• Type the acronym ICE followed by a contact name (for example, ICE - mom or ICE - David) into the address book of your mobile phone

• Save their phone number into the contact

• Tell your ICE contact that you have selected them
