Can Emergency Responders Find Your Home?

 

NEW IMPROVED ADDRESS MARKERS FOR THE ESTACADA RURAL FIRE DISTRICT INCREASES THE VISIBILITY OF YOUR ADDRESSSPECIAL!For a limited time (until April 30, 2007) the Estacada Rural Fire District will give fire district residents that have previously purchased the old address signs, $7.00 towards the purchase of a new sign.

Old Address Sign

The Estacada Fire District is concerned about locating people during their time of need.  Firefighters, police, and medical personnel often find themselves frustrated when arriving to find several mailboxes at the end of a driveway, unmarked addresses, or addresses that are difficult to read in the dark.  Proper identification of your residence may be the difference in saving or losing lives and property.

 

The fire district is offering a 4½" wide x 30" long address marker. The sign has a green background and white reflective numbers. The numbers meet the fire code requirement of 4" high, with a ½" stroke. This address marker is mounted on a 6 foot galvanized "U" channel post that is buried 2 feet into the ground. The sign is fastened to the post with galvanized hardware. There are two configurations available:

 

bullet

Single-sided Marker - This sign should be used on spur roads and dead-end roads where emergency apparatus approach your property from one direction only. The price for this marker is $18.00 each.

 

bullet

Two-sided Marker - This sign should be used on roads where emergency apparatus may approach from two directions. Many of the roads in the fire district fall into this category. The price for this marker is $28.00 each.

 

bullet

Side by Side Marker - This sign should be used where there are 2 homes on one driveway. Clackamas County requires that driveways with 3 or more homes be marked as a private road. Homes would then be marked individually.

 

Orders are placed monthly for signs. Estacada Fire personnel will install the signs. Please allow 30 days for delivery and installation.

 

We urge you to take action today.  To order your address marker, please stop by our administrative office located at 445 SE Currin St. in Estacada or call us at 503-630-7712.
