Sheriff’s Office, Fire And EMS Out In Force In School Zones

August 23, 2011

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and even the fire department and ambulances were out in school zones Monday in an attempt to slow down drivers.

The Sheriff’s Office was busy enforcing the posted speed limits in school zones for the first day back to class in Escambia County, while crews from Escambia Fire Rescue and Escambia County EMS manned crossings and sat with lights flashing to draw attention to the schools zones.

    I thought it was billiant the way they built the shcool on the busiest stretch of highway in the north end. Even papermills and power plants has entrances that are off the highway. Looks like traffic will be a problem for a long time into the future.
