Sandbags

Gilbert strategically places sand and sandbags at several of our fire stations. Residents that find themselves in situations where sandbags might help prevent property damage due to weather will be able to find them at the following locations. Please bring your own shovel.

How to fill sandbags

Fill the bags one-half to two-thirds full. The bag should lie fairly flat when filled. Overfilled bags are too firm and do not nestle into one another. Bags packed too tight make for a leaky sandbag wall. Tying bags is not necessary.
