(KLZA)--There have been several fires recently in the area involving farm fields or equipment such as combines in fields.
On more than one occasion, rather than calling 911, emergency calls were made directly to a member rural fire departments. While the fire fighters are willing to respond to calls, calling them directly can cause delays that add precious minutes to response times for the fire fighting equipment.
If you have a fire, call 911 and let the dispatch to put out the call to all of the firefighters with the appropriate fire department.
It is also important to give accurate information on where a fire is located. Failing to provide the correct information such as road number or highway number or the address if you have it also slows down the response time for fire fighters.
