Where To Get Sandbags In Fremont

FREMONT, CA —With several days of heavy rain in the forecast, the City of Fremont has stocked sandbags and sand at several locations.

If you think that you may need sandbags, get them as soon as possible.

Bring your own shovel, and it's best to have two people get the sandbags since it's easier to fill them if one person holds the bag while the other person shovels in the sand. Limit: 10 bags per home or business.

Here are the sandbag locations:

• City Maintenance Center, 42551 Osgood Road, Fremont, CA 94539
• Fire Station No. 5, 55 Hackamore Lane Fremont, CA 94539
• Fire Station No. 10, 5001 Deep Creek Road Fremont, CA 94555

Another smart reminder is to check for leaves and other debris in the gutters of your home and along your street, especially near storm drains. Sweep away leaves to keep them flowing.
