THANKS to Mr. and Mrs. Kline for continued great work on our Emerald Hills pocket park along Kelton Road.

The Emerald Hills Neighborhood Council hosted a Community Clean-up Event with the City on August 6th.  Thanks to all -   27.99 TONS of waste was removed, with over 22 tons of it NON-recyclables.          Way to go, EH!

The guys from our Local FIRE STATION #12 joined us for awhile. Nice to meet you all! Corey Beckwith shared with us:

Did you know it takes an average of 5-10 minutes for a truck to get to you? That every fire truck has a trained paramedic on it? That an ambulance often takes 10-12 minutes to arrive on the scene? The Fire fighters often have 7-15 calls per 24 hour shift?

Dryer Lint and Vents - one of the big problems for fires, especially in apartment complexes.

Please make sure to remove lint EVERY time you use the dryer, and vacuum/ empty out the vent that leads outside. You'll save energy, in addition to making your place safer. It was recommended that your dryer get checked by a professional annually.

Fire Stations are Safe Baby Drop-Off Zones. If you are unable to care for your baby/child, bringing him/her to a fire station or hospital will not be considered abandonment by the Police.

The local brownouts for service in our area ended on July 1st of this year, thank goodness. 

If you have any questions, you can call Fire Station #12- they're friendly: 619-527-3420.

If you need a bicycle license or learn how to properly fit your child into a safety seat - go to the local police station-  Southeastern Division,  #431 on the police map area. They also do

"You Are Not Alone" YANA Checks and

Vacation House Checks
