The Fort Ellis Fire Service Area is large (59 square miles) and diverse.  When you call 911, every second counts and we want to deliver emergency services to you as quickly and professionally as possible.  To make this happen, we rely on our homeowners to address their property as completely as possible.  This means readable addresses BOTH at the end of driveways AND on houses.  An address on a mailbox is not enough when we are trying to find you quickly.  PLEASE, take the time to make sure we can find you.  Look at your home from all sides and think of how it will look in the dark.  Help us to help your family!

Here is what we would like your address sign to look like in the daytime,

and at night.

These signs are available locally at Ace Owenhouse Hardware

and here are some web sites from which you can purchase address signs:
