When fire, rescue and other emergency vehicles are looking for your home, give them the help they need to get there.
Provide an address number readable from both directions of travel.
When responding to a call at night, emergency personnel are sometimes delayed because they can't read the address
numbers in the area. If the numbers are clear, responders can tell when they are close and don't have to slow down
to assess the situation.
Don't assume your street address number is not a problem number. You usually see it from just a few feet away.
Please take the time to see it the way emergency responders have to, from a moving vehicle. Some numbers are too
small, some deteriorated, and some are attractive but just don't show up.
If you are one of the many who needs a readable number, it's time to get one that works. By doing so you are both
protecting your family and being a responsible neighbor, because your readable number helps emergency personnel
to find your neighbors homes as well as your own.
Whether your get numbers from Pinecrest or from another source, by ensuring your street number is readable from a
moving vehicle, you are doing your part to make your community a bit safer.
