The
City of Rolla Fire and Rescue is conducting their annual business safety inspections,
and one of the items they check for is a visible and conspicuous address number
to identify the location of each business.
By properly displaying address numerals that
contrast with the color of the dwelling, fire, safety and medical responders can
more quickly identify a property when responding to an emergency call, or
during other safety or medical related matters.
“When lives are at risk, visible property address
numbers really count,” said Fire Chief Robert Williams, City of Rolla Fire
& Rescue. “And emergency services personnel don’t need to be wasting your
time guessing at addresses.”
In
addition, property owners who have recently remodeled or re-sided their homes,
or whose address numbers are not visible, need to ensure their street or
property address is easily identifiable somewhere on the structure and visible
from the street.
A violation of the requirements of this
Ordinance shall constitute an offense which could be punishable by a fine not
to exceed $50.
This requirement is in keeping with the
City’s Ordinance relating to Chapter 6 (Sec. 6-1, Article 1 – In General) “Street numbers required of property owners
on dwelling or structure.
If
you have any questions relating to these requirements, please contact Rolla
City Administration at 426-6948.
