Help Fire Fighters Find Your Home with a Residential Address Sign
By Suzanne Perra
You may have noticed that some of your neighbors have the blue reflective address signs near their driveways and wondered how you could get one. These signs allow visitors to easily find your house in the dark and are also promoted by our Fire Department to allow quick identification of your home in case of an emergency. These signs are great for rural neighborhoods where it may be difficult to see the homes through the trees or read the small print on the mailboxes.
How to order a residential address sign
The Tualatin Valley Firefighter's Union in partnership with the Fire District has been providing residential address signs to citizens in our response area for the past several years. These signs help first responders locate properties in the event of an emergency.
Our signs are custom made with your address number and come with a supporting post and all necessary installation hardware. We will build and deliver your sign to the nearest fire station. The crews on duty will contact you via telephone and you can pick them up at the station or they can occasionally deliver if time allows. Customer pick up at the station is preferred as crews have unpredictable schedules with emergency response, etc.
The homeowner will be responsible for final construction and actually pounding the support post into the ground, a very simple process. Please be sure to call 811 (see details below) for utility locations if you are unsure of what is under the ground in your sign installation area.
If you would like a custom-made address sign, please contact Danielle Hebert at the Union Hall by e-mail [email protected] or telephone 503.697.9418. Please provide her with your name, address, phone number and e-mail address and she will get back to you. The current cost for one of our address signs is $25.00 for a single-sided sign or $35.00 for a double-sided sign. The signs are intended to be set up as a vertical post installation and we can include directional arrows if needed. Please expect 3-4 weeks for your sign to be made and delivered to your nearest TVFR Station.
Please note that if this notice generates an unexpectedly large number of inquiries and orders, Danielle may have trouble getting back to you in a timely manner, or your orders may be delayed, so please send your orders to Danielle, but send your questions to [email protected] first to see if we can answer them. July and August are busy months for the Tualatin Valley Firefighters Union.
Free installation provided by SRN Board Members
As a community service and to promote safety in our neighborhood, our SRN Board has offered free installation of the residential address signs. If you would like help picking up and installing your address sign, please send an email to [email protected] to request free installation from Skyline Ridge Neighbor Board members. Be sure to call 811 at least a few days before the installation to have underground facilities, such as electrical utilities and telecommunication systems marked. Oregon’s 811 “Call Before You Dig” is a free service.
