Year-Round Designate BEFORE You Celebrate!

It's All About Making Our Roadways Safer!

  • As a Fire Department, our number one 9-1-1 call are "traffic collisions"...please read the following to help make our roadways safer...
  • Officials remind drivers of three "don'ts" -- don't forget to buckle your safety belt, don't speed and don't drink and drive. Designate BEFORE you celebrate!

    People departing on long trips should designate two drivers to lessen the chance of fatigue. And be very alert for aggressive drivers...do not let distractions such as cell phone use and/or text messaging delay your reaction time to avoid collisions. Be safe.

    But! How often have you seen someone driving down the road that you were pretty sure was drunk, or at least driving dangerously? Haven't you said to yourself, "I wish a police officer was here to see this and pull this guy over!"

    Now, you can be the one on the spot. Now, as you travel California's streets and highways, you can do something to help get drunk drivers off the road.

    How to spot a DUI driver and alert CHP by safely calling 9-1-1:

    Know The Signs Of A DUI Driver

    The Office of Traffic Safety, California Highway Patrol, and local law enforcement want everyone to drive safely and responsibly. Always designate a sober driver, and if you see a drunk driver on the road, call 911. The public can use the emergency number to report and help the CHP identify drunk drivers before it is too late.
