FREE Sand Bags for storm available.

businesses at the following five Fire Stations:

Station No. 5             7575 E. Wardlow Road (El Dorado Park)

    Sandbags will last as long as they don't have a hole. If the bags are
reusable, residents should keep them for the next major rainstorm. To discard,
distribute sand in a flowerbed or over a lawn, and then throw away the empty
bags.

    Do not take sand from the beach. It is illegal to dump sand at the beach,
in the gutter or in the storm drain system.
