Tips when you call from Mill Creek Crossing

• If you live in a townhome, duplex or apartment, say so. Shared walls and neighboring units change how water and smoke travel, and the property manager or HOA may need to be involved.
• Give the dispatcher your cross streets and the nearest landmark, not just the street number. Several Garland streets share names across ZIP codes.
• If the power is out, say so. Dehumidifiers and air movers need electricity, and some providers bring generators.
• Move cars out of the driveway if you can. Crews often need room for a truck, hoses and equipment close to the entry.
