Oaks Corners Fire Dept. "911" Address Sign Program

The Oaks Corners Volunteer Fire Department is offering a "911" Address Sign Program as a public safety project for the community.  They are offering highly visible, home address number signs with reflective color backing and 3" reflective white numbers on both sides of the sign.  They are designed to be installed on a mailbox post for the greatest visibility from the street.  The sign that you order will be either green or red, depending on what style of construction your house or building is.  The different in sign color is to alert the responding firefighters of the kind of construction your house or building is comprised of; green for standard-construction building and red for lightweight construction such as site-built and factory-built engineered homes. These building materials burn faster and collapse faster than traditional wood-frame buildings, which can result in Firefighter injury or death.  If you are unsure which sign is appropriate for your address, please contact the fire house and they will help you identify which type of construction you have. 

The cost of the sign is $25.00.  If you need a mounting post for the sign, they are available at an additional cost of $5.00.  For residents living in a mobile home park, there is available a 12"W x 6"H white aluminum sign with your lot number in black for $20.00.  The Fire Department will come to your address and install the sign for no additional charge.
