Having trouble thinking of a gift for a loved one? The Independence Township Fire Department has a suggestion ? an emergency reflective address sign for their house.
‘It would make a good gift for the holidays,? said Mike White, engineer and paramedic with the ITFD. ‘They make our response much more efficient. They make it easier to pick up the address.?
The signs are $15 each, and come in green or blue. The reflective numbers can be white or yellow. They are mounted on mailboxes or wooden posts so that the address number can be easily seen from the street.
The signs take 1-2 days to make. The department will call when they are ready for pickup. For those with special needs, ITFD offers help installing the signs.
To order, stop by any of the township fire stations, 6500 Citation Drive, 7825 Sashabaw Road, and 5241 Maybee Road, or call 248-625-1924.
