Is Your House Easy To Find?

One of the most frustrating things to a firefighter is not being able to find someone when they need help. Seconds count in emergencies. Please make sure you home is marked with your address. If your home sits away from the road, please mark the driveway with your address using a sign or other means. Whatever method you choose, make sure the address is visible at night. Helpful hints for posting your address:

  • Make sure your address is visible using a minimum of 4” block numbers. The bigger the numbers, the easier it is to see them from the road.
  • If the color of your address number is similar to the color of your home, it will be nearly invisible to responders especially at night. Make sure the color of your address number contrasts to the color of your home or the background where the number is located. An example is white on black or black on white.
  • When possible, mark your driveways with reflective address signs or numbers. If it is dark, we will not be able to see the address marker unless it is reflective or lighted.
  • To improve your visibility, consider marking your house and driveway.
  • Remember, the bigger the marking the better.
