The Carrboro Fire-Rescue Department has started a new address-marking program to help emergency crews find locations of incidents more quickly.
Because many residences are poorly marked, emergency crews may lose time searching for address numbers while trying to respond to an emergency call. Reflective address markers that are highly visible both day and night are now available for purchase.
The bright blue, fade-resistant signs cost $15 or $20 with a mounting pole. Fire personnel are available to install address markers for residents of Carrboro or the South Orange Fire District.
For more information or to purchase an address marker, call the department at 918-7347 or visit www.townofcarrboro.org/fd
