Available for only peninsula residents in fire district 1 on the peninsula. This notice is for Surfside HOA residents.

Why Address Signs Are Critical

Emergency crews—whether firefighters, EMTs, or law enforcement—often respond to calls in low visibility conditions such as:

• Nighttime emergencies
• Heavy rain or coastal fog
• Remote or poorly marked roads

Reflective address signs significantly improve visibility, allowing responders to find your property faster and without confusion.

For rural and coastal communities like Surfside where homes may be spaced out or tucked away, this becomes even more important.

What the Program Offers

The order form allows residents to request:

• Reflective address signs
• Optional mounting posts
• Clearly printed house numbers for roadside visibility

These signs are built to withstand weather while maintaining high reflectivity—ensuring they remain visible year-round.

A Community Safety Investment

This isn’t just about convenience—it’s about protecting lives. The fire district emphasizes that purchasing and installing these signs helps:

• Improve emergency response times
• Reduce delays in locating properties
• Enhance overall public safety

At the same time, participation supports the mission of the fire district, which provides fire suppression, emergency medical services, and public safety education across the region.

Who Should Consider Ordering One?

This program is especially important for:

• Homes in rural or wooded areas
• Properties without clearly visible numbers
• Vacation homes or rentals unfamiliar to responders
• Areas prone to fog, storms, or limited lighting

If responders can’t quickly see your address, they lose valuable time—time you may not have during a fire, medical emergency, or accident.

A Simple Step That Saves Lives

Installing a reflective address sign is one of the easiest and most effective ways to improve emergency response to your home. It’s a small investment with potentially life-saving impact.

In communities like Surfside and across Pacific County, where environmental conditions and geography can complicate access, visibility equals safety.
