Get Your Reflective Green Address Numbers from the Pinewood Fire Department
In an emergency, every second counts. Whether it’s a medical issue, fire, or other urgent situation, the Pinewood Fire Department works tirelessly to reach your home as quickly as possible. However, one small detail could cause critical delays: the visibility of your address.
Many homes in our area are missing reflective green address numbers or have numbers that are difficult to see, especially at night. This seemingly minor issue can create a significant obstacle for first responders trying to locate your home in an emergency.
To address this, the Pinewood Fire Department is offering free reflective green address numbers and encouraging all residents to take advantage of this service.
Why Reflective Green Address Numbers Matter
When you call 911, the system can guide emergency responders to your general area. However, pinpointing the exact location of your home can be challenging without clearly visible address numbers. Factors such as poor lighting, overgrown foliage, or faded address markers can make it difficult for first responders to identify your home quickly.
Reflective green address numbers are designed to stand out both during the day and at night. Their high-contrast, reflective coating ensures they catch the light from emergency vehicles, making your home easy to locate, even in the dark or during inclement weather.
This small change can make a significant difference in the speed and efficiency of emergency response.
