If you have an emergency at your home, could emergency services quickly find you? Emergency workers complain that many homes do not have address numbers or numbers are not legible or the numbers are obscured by trees or other objects. This could delay fire, police or ambulance services from finding your home, and those few seconds could mean the difference between life and death.

Emergency personnel use city maps to find your block, but they look for address numbers to find specific homes. In Roseville address numbers must be on the home (on a mailbox is not adequate) at least four inches high and clearly visible and legible from the street. Please take time to make sure your house numbers are clearly visible.
