HOUSE NUMBERS NEEDED FOR SAFETY FORCES!
At the April 12, 2006 Township Trustee meeting residents asked about the importance of displaying house numbers. Both our Fire and Police Chiefs stated that when responding to an emergency situation, large visible house numbers reduce confusion and the amount of time needed for our safety forces to respond.

"Finding the right home quickly after dark can sometimes be difficult" Fire Chief Robert Keller said.

During an emergency, seconds can seem like hours while waiting for safety forces to arrive. You need to do your part to help them arrive quickly. "The best types of numbers to display are those that reflect light" said Police Chief David Blough. Please take the time this spring to ensure that your house number is clearly visible from the street.
