If you knew that Ed McMahon was coming to your house to deliver that ten million dollar check, you would have a neon sign out front pointing to your house so there would not be any chance of his missing the address. If you were going to have a garage sale, you would have arrows pointing down that alley to ensure your success.
But what if someone was trying to break into your house or was inside your house coming at you? Could the Police approach your home from the front or the alley and find your address quickly?
What if your something in your house was on fire, or you or someone you love needed an ambulance, could the Fire Department find or approach your home from the front or the alley and know that they were in the right location?
These are critical situations that affect you personally. Time is of the essence when police or firefighters are responding to your call for help. A quick and ordered response could mean your safety, or it could mean life or death!
Hutto Fire/Rescue would like you to check your house numbers to make sure that they are easy to see. They should be displayed on the front of the residence. The numbers should be at least three (3) inches tall, and can be purchased at any local hardware store. Choose a color that contrasts well with your house color so the numbers stand out easily.
