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.
