Sandbag Information

Sand and unfilled sandbags are typically maintained at the fire station, located at 12142 Chilberg Road. Just prior to flood events, volunteers are called to action to fill and deliver sandbags to private parties. Residents may also come to the fire station to fill their own sandbags. While shovels and funnels are maintained at the fire station, residents are advised to bring their own shovels and gloves.
