FLASHING GREEN LIGHTS FOR FIREFIGHTERS

In the upcoming weeks, motorists traveling municipal roads in Grenville-sur-la-Rouge will notice new road signs indicating the use of flashing green lights by firefighters. These signs are intended as a reminder to drivers that if you see such a flashing light, your firefighters are on their way to an intervention and, as a "courtesy", when possible, let them pass, and this, if everything is safe.

As the holiday season approaches, online shopping and package deliveries increase dramatically. As a result, the number of package thefts delivered to the doorstep has increased. The SQtv team has just published a Preventive Alert/Info on its YouTube channel SQtv-Sûreté du Québec. It includes prevention tips.
