With springtime here and more people getting outside, we’re asking residents to take a look at their house numbers.

Take a look from the street can you clearly see your house number? If your house number is hidden, faded, or missing, it can impact our response.

✔ Large, easy-to-read numbers
✔ High-contrast numbers (dark on light works best—black on white trim is ideal)
✔ Visible from the road in both directions. If you live at an intersection, consider adding the street name to help avoid confusion.
✔ Reflective or illuminated numbers for nighttime and bad weather
✔ Mark your driveway if your home sits back or is not visible from the road. A sign at the end of the driveway with your number (and street name) can help
✔ Don’t rely only on your mailbox. Mailboxes may be across the street or grouped together, which can be confusing

Take a moment to check your home. If your house number is hard to see, a simple fix can make a big difference.

If you have any questions or would like us to take a look, please reach out:

Route 495 brings us a wide range of emergencies—from motor vehicle crashes to hazardous materials incidents.

During shift training today, we worked through several hazmat response scenarios specific to the highways. These types of calls require quick decision-making, coordination, and a strong understanding of the potential hazards we may face.

In the middle of the discussion, the topic came up about when the highway turned red from a nontoxic bark mulch dye that was leaking from a truck. Turns out it was almost 20 years ago. April 2007
