Emergency Vehicles

By Georgia law, when an emergency vehicle that is displaying emergency lights and sirens is approaching, you must pull to the right and, if possible, stop. This allows the vehicle adequate clear lanes to safely and quickly continue its response.

Remember, in many emergencies time is of the essence and literally every second counts. If you have not already posted your 911 street number, please do so and help us help you! If you want to purchase your 911 street number or if you are unsure of how it should be posted, please call the Morgan County Fire Department at 706-343-6503. Signs are $15. Thank you!
