The Southington Fire Department has put up new emergency trail markers with location information to make it easier for firefighters to respond in an emergency. All trails at Crescent Lake are marked and there are two large information signs — one in the parking lot — that give a brief explanation of the signs. The signs also have a QR code that links to a town website with a map of the trails, a more in-depth explanation of the trail markers and a list of hiking safety tips. “If someone gets lost or injured and they are near one of the signs or they remember the closest sign they saw last, they call 911, they tell us what number they are near and we have our corresponding map and we’ll be able to get to them as quickly as possible,” Southington firefighter Christopher Fusco said.
