CALL J.U.L.I.E - DIAL 811
BEFORE YOU DIG
Carroll firefighters urge the public to call the Illinois
one call system before digging.  Millions of dollars in
damage is caused by Illinois residents and
construction workers who fail to call J.U.L.I.E 811 and
strike, cut, or rupture underground cables and
pipelines. For more information:

In Case of Emergency

In view of recent terrorist events, including the recent attacks in London, an "In Case
of Emergency (ICE)" campaign has been launched worldwide. The idea is to store
the word "ICE" in the address book of mobile phones with the name and phone
number of the person that should be contacted in the event that the cell phone
owner is injured and unable to communicate this information. It's that simple.
