When seconds matter, your home address is one of the most important pieces of information you can give 911 dispatchers, but only if first responders can see it.
Here’s what firefighters suggest every household should do:
• Make sure your address is clearly visible from the street, day and night.
• Use large, reflective numbers
• Place them where they’re not blocked by décor or landscaping
• Light them at night or use glow-in-the-dark numbers
• Put numbers on both the house and the mailbox if possible
A visible address helps crews find you faster in an emergency when every second counts.
