The Halton Hills Fire Department has partnered with Community Connect to launch the Fire & Emergency Services' Community Connect platform— a free, secure, and easy-to-use tool that helps enhance emergency response. Through voluntary participation, residents and business owners can share vital information about their properties, household members, and specific needs, enabling first responders to better prepare and respond during emergencies.
Fire & Emergency Services Community Connect Launches
Building a safer community together through prevention, preparedness and response.
By registering and providing details such as household layout, mobility concerns, and emergency contacts, users empower first responders to act more efficiently and effectively during emergencies. This proactive approach supports Halton Hills’ commitment to building a safer, more prepared community through prevention, preparedness, and rapid response.
