NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS

in the coverage area of the

MANAWA RURAL FIRE & AMBULANCE DEPARTMENT

It has been brought to our attention that there are some driveways that we may not be able to access with our vehicles when needed.  We are asking you to please make sure that we are able to get in and out of your driveway when needed.  Even though the ambulance is smaller and needs less room to get around than a fire truck, we ask you to have the following area clear in your driveway.

Width: we are asking for it to be 14 feet wide or wider if possible.

Height: we are asking for it to be 12 feet tall or taller if possible.

We are asking you to help us with this so we can help you when the need is there.  This will also help so vehicles are not damaged when the need arises.  The cost of repairs to paint and other items on the truck can reach over $10,000.00 very quick when trees are scratching the sides and tops of the trucks.

If you have any questions and would like to meet with us, please feel free to contact us, and we can set up a time to meet and look over the area.
