A new community connect program provided by the Saint John Fire Department will enhance first response and help build a safer community.

Residents and businesses can create a secure emergency profile through First Due that will assist first responders in the case of an emergency.

“We are always looking for ways to better serve Saint John. For this reason, we are rolling out Community Connect to better protect our residents and their property in the most effective way possible,” says Fire Chief Kevin Clifford.

“By providing information about your household or business that you feel is important for us to know about at the time of an emergency, we can better ensure you and everything you care about is protected to the best of our ability.”

This information will include the number of occupants, accessibility requirements, pets, and building structure details.
