POST HOUSE NUMBERS!

Post house numbers:

• Directly on your house, apartment, or garage. • By the street or on a post or sign made of fire resistant material. • On the mailbox or curb. • Anywhere they can be easily seen from the road. • That they are easy to read, not CURSIVE style. • They are at least 4" high. • Keep your house numbers clearly visible throughout the year. • If your home or business is set back from the street or road, post your address numbers at the entrance of your driveway. • In situations where more than one home is accessed off a single driveway, all addresses should be posted on each appropriate intersection along the driveway. • Be sure your numbers can be seen at night.

CAN WE FIND YOU IN AN EMERGENCY?

Clearly posted house numbers can save precious time should an emergency occur. Response time is crucial; seconds lost can mean the difference between life and death.

Things you can do:

• Purchase and install Solar Powered House Numbers for your home. • Encourage your friends, family & neighbors to post their house numbers, VISIBLE too! • Have a family home fire escape plan and practice often. • Have a working smoke detector on every level of your home, especially by the bedrooms. • Report all fires, immediately! U.S. fire departments respond to over 2,000,000 fires each year. • Contact your local fire department for additional information for help in protecting your home.
