Fire Prevention

IF WE CAN'T FIND YOU, WE CAN'T HELP YOU!!!   IS IT DIFFICULT TO FIND YOUR HOME? 

What if the weather conditions are bad and visibility is poor?

  • You have let bushes, vines or weeds grow to hide the numbers where your address posted?
  • You have placed your numbers too low on the post and they have been covered by weeds?
  • You have placed brass address numbers on your post which do not contrast with the background color and can’t be easily seen?
  • You placed address numbers on the mailbox, but numbers are covered when flag is pulled down?
  • You have not posted your 911 number by your driveway or gate?
  • Your address numbers on mailbox are small, obstructed and/or non-reflective?

 HOUSE NUMBERS are a critical part of Prevention!

 
House numbers should be clear enough so the first responder's, fire fighters and police can quickly locate your home in an emergency.  

Take a hike, while you are walking the neighborhood try and find the house numbers.  If you can't find them standing on the street, can you imagine how difficult it is for a fire fighter trying to look for it in an emergency.  They should be 4 inches or larger and in a place where they can easily see them.
