Our community programs prevent accidents, save lives and help people in need.
We work hard at preventing fires and accidents before they happen. Every year, the fire district surveys properties free of charge to reduce exposure to wildland fires. It inspects all commercial buildings annually and new development to make sure they are safe for the public. Emergency personnel teaches fire prevention in our schools, and classes on CPR, First Aid and fire extinguisher use. We install smoke alarms and change batteries for residents in need of assistance. We also help raise money for local families in need through our pancake breakfast, and food and toy drives during the holidays.

Pulse Point
PulsePoint enables subscribers who are CPR trained to be alerted on their Smart Phone to a cardiac arrest in a public location the same time emergency responders are notified. The free PulsePoint app can be found in the Apple App store, or in Android Apps on Google Play. Go to http://webapp.pulsepoint.org/ and select “CRESA.”
PulsePoint will give the citizen responder mapping directions, notify them of any automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) in at area and provide the radio traffic of the emergency responders.
Early CPR is the key if the victim is to survive. When a person goes into cardiac arrest, their heart, brain and other vital organs no longer receive oxygen. Researchers have found that without early CPR within the first 3 to 5 minutes, victims’ chances of survival are dramatically reduced. You only need to be willing to do “Hands-Only” CPR. According to the American Heart Association, Hands-Only CPR has been shown to be as effective as conventional CPR in the first minutes of cardiac arrest.
Subscribers can also view active fire and emergency medical incidents and monitor emergency radio traffic
Businesses, schools and other public sites with an AED are asked to visit CRESA website to see if their AED is listed in the PulsePoint database. To register your AED go to: http://www.cresa911.org/

Pancake Breakfasts
JUNE 2021 – In lieu of our annual Open House and Pancake Breakfast, we made an ask to help a local friend who is near to our hearts and dear to our community. And you answered! $11,570 raised to support Juliann!
Just a few months ago, Juliann Anderson started to feel a bit unwell and lost her appetite. In less than a month’s time she was experiencing severe stomach pain and was unable to eat. A young and healthy woman, she wasn’t expecting the diagnosis of stage 3 colon cancer. In fact, a tumor had grown so fast that it created a nearly complete obstruction. After having abdominal surgery in March to remove 12 – 15 inches of colon, 2 tumors and lymph nodes, she is currently undergoing 6 months of chemotherapy before another abdominal surgery (reconstructive) can be scheduled.
Juliann’s father is one of our Fire Commissioners, Jon Couture. Before Jon was a Fire Commissioner, he was a longtime volunteer for Fire District 3. For over 30 years he has been taking care of our community. Thank you for helping to take care of his daughter as she faces a tough challenge.
