Address Signs |
||||
Have you ever stopped and thought about how
the address to your property is displayed? Often we don't think about
things like this, because our mail carrier knows where we live, and so do
our friends, so what do we need to worry about? Think about this...what if
emergency services personnel can't find you? Every second counts in an
emergency, and the easier it is for us to find you, the better we can
serve you. As a general rule of thumb, your address should be displayed at
the entrance to your property, in at least 2 inch reflective numbering and
in plain view for emergency services personnel to see easily from the
roadway. The Stoney Creek Volunteer Fire Department is selling reflective
address signs to make finding your residence easier for emergency services
personnel. Please consider the purchase of one of these signs to help us
find you more quickly in case of an emergency. Signs can be made
horizontally or vertically. They are $15.00 each, and can be ordered by
calling SCVFD at (423)474-2001 or (423) 474-6444 and leaving a message
with your name, address, and if you'd like your sign created horizontally
or vertically. Or visit our
contact page
This is not a way for us to make a lot of money but to help provide you
with better emergency services. Below are pictures of what the
signs look like.

First Fire Truck |
||||
|
We recently had our first fire engine donated back to us. The truck was sold in 1980 to a gentleman (unknown) who sold it to Roy Taylor which lived in the Stoney Creek area. He purchased the truck to haul water to his tobacco fields. Mr. Taylor recently passed away and he had told his wife Brenda Taylor that one day he would like to give it back to us for a parade truck. After his death his wife donated the truck to us, in honor of him. We hope to restore the truck to as close to original condition as possible. We would like to ask for donations to help us restore the truck . The truck is a 1953 Ford, original motor and body parts with no pump or tank. If you would like to donate to this project or help us in locating parts please contact us. All donations please specify: Truck Restore. See our contact page for our info. Thank you, and a very special thank you to Brenda Taylor and in memory of Roy Taylor. |
