2019 Address Signs

Get your blue house address sign! There are still many homes we respond to that do not have the blue public safety address sign at their driveway.

When you’re in the middle of any emergency; fire related, EMS related, or needing a sheriff’s deputy, that is NOT the time to remember that your home is in need of the blue sign. Please, call or come up to Station 3 in town (next to the Primary School) and get your sign made.

At 373 square miles Jasper County meets every definition of a rural environment. While some Fire/EMS personnel are from here, some are not; and while you know where you are, and our staff knows where the roads are…it isn’t always as simple as that.

Jasper County has some dark roads and has more properties than not that have long secluded driveways. Many homes have beautiful mailboxes, and many homes have custom decorative numbers up on their home. But seeing them on a dark night or in the middle of a monsoon is not easy. We have several homes where the house number is painted the same color as the siding…and it’s ON the siding.

You know how you can easily see a jet plane in the sky but if you were on the plane you couldn’t pick out a specific house? It’s the same with a responding apparatus. The bright blue reflective number plates make your house the “jet plane” if you will. If you don’t already have one, get one. If you do, awesome! If you’re neighbor doesn’t, hound them! Just kidding, ok no really.

Communities across the country utilize these to the point that their legislators pass ordinances for them. They are highly reflective and easy to see from our trucks! Call the Jasper County Fire/EMS Dept at 706-468-4943. For $15 we will get your sign ready with your house number! We want to respond to your emergency in the shortest time possible, your visibility helps make that happen.
