During an emergency it is important that emergency personnel quickly identify your house when responding. Finding your home, especially at night, is quite challenging if your address numbers are hidden, unreadable, unlit or missing entirely. This can result in the delay of emergency responders getting to your emergency quickly.
Check your house and help your elderly neighbors. Are your house numbers visible from the street? Are they set on a background of contrasting color? If your house is hidden from the street, are your numbers attached to a post, visible fence, mailbox or gate at the end of your driveway?

Other Spring Fire Safety Tips
Flammable Liquids Safety: Only store gasoline in a container designed for that purpose. Never store gasoline containers or power equipment in basements or occupied space of the home. Be sure the container’s cap and vent are closed completely.
Grills and Propane Safety: Never store LP gas grill propane tanks inside your home or garage. Inspect your grill to make sure it’s free of grease or other combustible debris. Check grill propane tank hose for leaks or damage prior to use.
