Emergency & safety numbers
Home › Emergency & safety numbers
In an emergency, always call 911. For everything else (a scam call, a worry about a neighbor, a question about a fire), these are the numbers to keep by the phone. And please sign up for the county's emergency alerts. During a wildfire, they can tell you when it's time to leave.
5 listings, in no particular order. Everything here comes from each listing's own website or a public resource page, and I've linked it under each one so you can check it yourself.
