More signage news from around the world from Hants and Dorset Signs as in Greenville Wisconsin— When you dial 911 to report a fire or medical emergency at your home, first responders and firefighters are dispatched to help. But what happens if they can't easily locate your residence because they can't see the numbers of your address?

It has happened to first responders and firefighters in Greenville, and as a result, the town is proposing an ordinance that would establish requirements for the placement and maintenance of address signs at all residential, commercial, industrial or other occupancies in the sanitary district and rural areas.

Some address numbers are on mailboxes, others are displayed on houses and some newer homes have the address etched into stone or brick, according to Town Chairman Randy Leiker.

In addition, mailboxes are placed on the same side of the street in some areas, making it difficult to distinguish which box belongs to which house.

"Having uniform signage will make it easier for emergency personnel to see numbers from the street," Leiker said. "It's important for resident safety."
