Is Your Number Up?

Is Your Number Up?

If you have an emergency in your home or business, can the emergency responders find you? A vital piece of information is your location. It is important that you have your house numbers visible so that emergency vehicles responding to your call for aid will be able to reach the scene in a timely manner.

Simsbury Volunteer Fire Company reminds Simsbury residents that a local ordinance specifies that numbers not less than three inches in height be placed in such a way that they are visible from the street. It is also helpful if the numbers are reflective so they are visible at night. By posting your home or business numbers, you will be helping the emergency services help you without delay.

Try finding the numbers to your house at night, in a rainstorm, or when your shrubs and trees are in full bloom. Can you?

Putting your numbers up is easy, inexpensive and only takes a few minutes.
