GREENFIELD TOWNSHIP ARE DEPARTMENT

Dear resident,

When you have an emergency at your house, be it a loved one experiencing a heart attack or a clothes dryer
on fire in your basement, TIME will be the major determining  factor in how we can influence the outcome. One
of the biggest problems we encounter on an emergency run is finding the correct location. When people  place
their address on their home or on their mailbox, they seem to always place it so it can be seen in the  direction
the mailman approaches. This is great for the postal service, as they are driving very slowly, and usually
stopping at every home. We, on the other hand, are usually in a hurry, and need to be able to spot an address
from a distance. We also may not be coming down the street in the same direction the mailman does. The
remedy for this problem is foreach homeowner to place a green, reflective address sign in a prominent location
on their property where the numbers are on both sides and can be seen from both directions. This can be
placed on a mailbox pole or a separate

pole. These signs are available at our fire station for $7.00. This is our cost for the signs. In the interest of
public safety, we sell them at our cost.

I highly recommend the use of these signs, as they are the best way to help us find your home when you need us most.

Please call or stop in at the station for more information or to get your
sign.

Thank you,
Greenfield Township Fire Dept.
