Safety Tip

Please place visible numbers on your home or mailbox. Reflective numbers would be better for first responders. Esthetics is not worth the risk in case of an emergency. Everyone must remember that hospital medical treatment is at the very best 45 minutes away, adding another 5 minutes to that could be the difference between life and death.
