Help Us, Help You! - Make Sure Your Address is Seen
By KVFD
January 18, 2026
During emergencies when every moment counts, marking your home address clearly can make a critical difference. Properly displayed address numbers help emergency responders reach you quickly and efficiently.
If your property includes a private driveway or a long access road, please ensure that emergency vehicles can access your residence safely. Keep pathways unobstructed and maintain clear signage so help can arrive without delay.
In some situations, larger fire trucks may not be able to enter certain driveways due to their size. This can cause delays while responders work to reach you. To assist us, trim back trees and bushes along your driveway, and make note of any limitations related to bridges, tight spaces, or restrictions based on height and weight. Sharing these details with emergency services in advance allows us to prepare and respond effectively.
Our department is familiar with many properties that have limited access throughout the district. However, keeping us informed before an emergency takes place helps ensure we can respond as quickly and safely as possible.
