Every Second Counts – Yield for Firefighters with Green Flashing Lights

The Township of Georgian Bluffs is dedicated to the safety and well-being of our community, and asks that all drivers yield to vehicles displaying green flashing lights – these are volunteer firefighters on-route to an emergency.

Georgian Bluffs is proud to have a dedicated team of volunteer firefighters at the Inter Township Fire Department, who dedicate their time and expertise to protect and serve our community. When they respond to an emergency, time is of the essence, and every moment saved on the road can make a difference in the outcome. By pulling over and allowing firefighters to pass, you are playing a vital role in ensuring a swift and effective response to emergencies.

"We appreciate the support and cooperation of our community members in yielding to vehicles with green flashing lights," said Fire Chief Jeff Gautreau. "This small gesture can have a big impact on our ability to respond promptly to emergencies, potentially saving lives and minimizing property damage."

Georgian Bluffs emphasizes the importance of adhering to traffic laws and regulations, especially when it comes to yielding the right of way to emergency vehicles. The safety of both our residents and our volunteer firefighters is paramount, and by yielding for green flashing lights, we contribute to a safer environment for everyone on the road.

In the interest of community safety, we encourage all residents to familiarize themselves with the rules of the road and to remain vigilant while driving. By working together and respecting the green flashing lights as a symbol of urgent response, we can continue to create a safer community for all.
