See Litter - Pick It Up
Sue Phillips, President of East Arlington Renewal
developed a program to help clean up East
Arlington. AFD members served on the committee
and planned events
targeting specific areas in
East Arlington. One such
event “See Litter—Pick It
Up” had crews in the target
area participating.

AFD and APFF Local 1329 - Vial of Life
A cooperative effort with the Arlington
Professional Firefighters Association, the Vial of
Life Program provides containers to citizens for
storage of medical information. Participants in
the program are given a form to complete with
pertinent medical history and emergency
contacts. Once completed, the form is placed in
an oversized pill capsule and stored in the
refrigerator. A front door sticker and a refrigerator
magnet are visual cues for emergency
responders that the resident has a Vial of Life.
