Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Subscription Program Each year thousands of 9-1-1 medical calls are received from Montclair residents and businesses. Unexpected emergencies can result in costly medical bills. By participating in the EMS Subscription Program you can protect yourself, your family or employees against unexpected emergency medical services fees.
In an emergency always call 9-1-1 An emergency is considered an event or occurrence demanding immediate action, or any condition endangering life or property. You should call 9-1-1 if you smell smoke, see a fire, or if there is a serious medical emergency or potentially dangerous situation. Calling 9-1-1 is serious and calling unnecessarily may endanger someone else's life or property! When calling 9-1-1, give the dispatcher the following information: The phone number you are calling from, your name, your location, and the nature of the problem. Remain on the line until the dispatcher tells you it is okay to hang up.
For more information on any of the topics listed, please contact the Montclair Fire Department at (909) 447-3500.

Trick-or-Treat when there is still light outside. Cross the street at corners. Never cross in between cars or mid-block. Trick-or-Treat with a parent or older sibling. Wear a costume that makes it easy for you to walk, see, and be seen. Carry a flashlight with you. Use makeup instead of a mask. If you go out at night, pick well-lit streets!
