COVID 19 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!
Sunday, April 5, 2020

PLEASE READ THIS PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: The Christiana Fire Company would like to express our concern for the safety of our members! If you call 9-1-1 for medical or fire services from our company or our mutual aid companies, please inform the dispatchers of any possible COVID-19 positive patients in the residence/property. The dispatchers will ask you questions on the phone, answer them truthfully! Reiterate any possible exposures or positive patients to the crews as they arrive! WE WILL STILL PROVIDE YOU THE SAME SERVICE YOU CALLED FOR REGARDLESS OF YOUR ANSWERS!! We have had several incidents recently where people are calling 9-1-1 and lying about positive cases of COVID-19 because people believe we will not provide care or transport for these patients. This is FALSE!! We will ALWAYS provide you with the care and service you need!! You answering truthfully will allow our members to utilize proper personal protective equipment like the ones in the photographs attached! This ensures the safety of our personnel that are working and volunteering in an already inherently dangerous and stressful profession! Please help our personnel help you! Our personnel also have families they want to return home to with as much confidence that they can have about keeping them all safe from exposures! Be honest! Thank you! Stay healthy and stay home! We are all in this together!!
