If you're noticing smoke in the area today, it's coming from a half-acre brush fire in the Gig Harbor area close to the Narrows Bridge. While the fire is not near Anderson Island, smoke may be visible or noticeable depending on wind conditions.

Can We Find Your Home in an Emergency?

When every second counts, firefighters and EMS crews need to be able to find your home quickly. A clearly visible, reflective address sign can make all the difference; especially at night, during heavy rain, or when smoke or fog reduces visibility.

If your address numbers are difficult to see from the road, hidden by trees or landscaping or are not reflective, emergency responders may lose valuable time trying to locate your home.

Order your reflective address sign from the fire department today!
