New Tot Finder Program

There is now a new Tot Finder Program being rolled out throughout the United States. The old program marked a childs room from the outside of the home. This program utilizes three stickers used to mark each childs room inside throughout your home. The largest sticker is placed on the bottom of the door underneath the door handle facing into the hall way. The other two smaller stickers are placed on each side of the door way on the bottom of the door jambs. These Stickers are made of a reflective material that will stand out when firefighters are searching the home. These stickers are now available at the Boalsburg Firehouse. Please feel free to stop by or contact any of our firefighters to get these stickers for your childs room.

Pet Finder Stickers

Pet Finder Stickers are also now available at the Firehouse. These stickers are placed on all the doors leading into your home so we know that pets live there in the event you are not home during an emergency.
