Can emergency services find your house in a hurry?

     Unfortunately, most people never give their address a second thought until an emergency occurs at their residence. The house numbering system in Williams County is set up so that emergency services can find a location in a hurry. It is so very important to you and your family, to have your house clearly marked with you assigned address. It is recommended that house numbers be at least 3 inches high. House numbers should be placed on the residence near the entry door facing the roadway. It is also recommended that rural addresses also be posted close to the roadway on a mailbox or post. House numbers posted near the roadway, need to be both reflective as well as readable from both directions.

     Green house numbering signs can be purchased from the Williams County Fire Fighters Association at a cost of $10.00 each.
