What’s In A Number - Life or Death!

by Ed Brown

The specific number in this case would be your house number: your residence. What is in or at that number? The answer is, of course: your home and its contents, your vehicle(s), YOUR LIFE! Fire department responders will be looking for black smoke from a house fire that has “vented” through the roof but what about a home fire at a less dramatic, earlier stage, restricted to the sofa, or kitchen, or storage shed? Suppose the response is for EMS or Police! They are all responding with your house number as an absolute guide to a timely arrival.

Is your house number still attached to your home or did it blow away in the recent hurricane? Is the number that is painted on the driveway dirty, discolored and unreadable? A survey conducted in October checked home numbers on Plantation Drive. Thirty-two properties were found to have numbers on driveways that were missing, incorrect, faded, dirty or otherwise not visible!

Park Manager Billy Specht suggested that the CSA Office “will dispatch our crew to repaint address numbers on driveways. Simply call us for a work order. Please know that we only use white paint, so if your driveway is treated, or you would prefer another color or design, then please seek other options. We are happy to loan stencils to those who need them for their numbers.” Riddle Answer: Paint
