The Lyon Township Fire Department's Vial of Life program allows a patient to communicate with emergency responders even if he or she is non-responsive.  The Vial of Life is a large prescription medicine bottle identified by a large blue Star of Life.  The vial should be placed in a freezer door shelf compartment.  Inside the vial is a form on which people can indicate medical history, prescriptions, allergies, and emergency contact information.  This form allows first responders to know what ailments a patient may be suffering from without having to wait for tests.

You may pick up a free Vial of Life at one of the following locations:

Lyon Township Hall

When you receive your Vial of Life, the emergency information card should be filled out to the best of your ability and placed inside the Vial of Life bottle.  The large Vial of Life sticker should be placed on the upper edge of the freezer compartment in which the Vial of Life is located. 

The form that goes inside the Vial of Life can be found here.
