If you have an emergency at your home, could the police or firefighters quickly find you? Emergency workers are concerned that many homes do not have address numbers or the numbers are not visible from the street.
Not having your house number clearly legible or if the numbers are obscured by trees or other objects could delay fire, police or ambulance services from finding your home. Those few seconds could mean the difference between life and death.
Emergency personnel use city maps to find your block, but they look for address numbers to find specific homes. In Roseville address numbers must be on the home (on a mailbox is not adequate), at least four inches high and clearly visible and legible from the street. Please take time to make sure your house number is clearly visible.
