This year Eaton County 911, in conjunction with Delta Township, is offering a text message alert system for those attending the Delta Fireworks on July 3. The service will provide event-goers real-time notifications in the instance of an emergency, as well as information relating to the event, including any potential weather delays, road closures in the area and so on.

To sign up for notifications for leading up to the fireworks display, just text DELTA to 67283

“Having real time event and emergency information immediately available to you is critical in any situation. We strongly urge everyone attending the July 3rd celebration and fireworks to sign up for these timely and important messages, according to Delta Township Fire Chief Gregory Ginebaugh,”
