CANYON LAKE FIRE/EMS NUMERICAL ADDRESS SIGNS Canyon Lake Fire/EMS is
letting the community know that sometimes it is difficult to locate a
residence in an emergency due to irregularly marked addresses on homes
and businesses. If you are interested in aiding emergency personnel
in locating your home/business, plus supporting the firefighters by
using a reflective sign, you can purchase these blue and white
reflective signs at any of the three Canyon Lake Fire/EMS locations
for $20. The cost of $20 includes the sign, post and installation!
Locations are Sattler Road, FM 2673 in Startzville and FM 306 at
Potters Creek. CL Fire/EMS would appreciate your support by
purchasing their sign, but if you don't, they would still appreciate
people putting up their own signs using reflective numbers. In an
emergency, every second counts.
