Address Signs
Get An Address Sign In Case Of Emergencies
Minutes, sometimes seconds, can count in an emergency. Having your address marked is extremely important.
If you don’t have your address marked, it can be VERY difficult for us and EMS to find you, especially at night. We cannot rely on GPS alone because it can be inaccurate. Place your order online or in-person at one of our fire stations. Orders take approximately 2 business days to complete and can be picked up at Fire Station 1 in Oakalla.
🚨
Address signs are required by the Fire Code for all properties.

Common Misconceptions
"My mailbox is marked."
We still come up against faded numbers, mailbox bashers, or other damage, not to mention rural homes off the main road.
"My address is marked on my gate."
Homeowners and visitors often leave gates open, making it hard to count on addresses on gates.
"I have one sign, isn't that enough?"
Maybe. If it is visible from both directions of traffic on the roadway.
"My street has a shared mailbox unit that has an address marker already."
ALL addresses need to be clearly marked at the entrance. And EVERY address needs to be clearly marked at the appropriate intersection along the driveway.
