- EVERY SECOND
COUNTS
-
- KUTZTOWN - Everyone knows the adage "Every Second Counts" when we're referring to an emergency and it's true. The difference between life and death may only be a few seconds for a victim. This fact has not been ignored by governmental agencies and community organizations; millions and millions of dollars have been poured into technologically advanced E-911 systems over the past 15-20 years. Even today, the hot topic is wireless E-911 concerning cell phones dialing 911.
However, with all of this technology, we've left out one small, basic tool. People don't mark their addresses sufficiently for emergency personnel to find them.
The Kutztown Fire Company as well as other neighboring departments have recognized that a large percentage of residents do not have their house numbers clearly displayed. This can and has delayed our response to emergencies.
One of our goals is to eliminate this problem.
Kutztown, Virginville and Kempton Fire Companies all participate in a program to provide residents a low cost, yet very effective solution to this problem.
The solution is a large, highly reflective green aluminum sign with white numbers.
This common marking will assist all emergency responders in quickly locating your property.
