Help First Responders Find Your Home

If you call law enforcement, an ambulance, or the local fire department, you want them to get to your home as soon as possible. Sometimes a delay is caused because the responders can’t pinpoint your home.

As part of the plan review for a permit for a home in La Mesa, California, the building department requires that the house number be mounted prominently on the street side of the house. The numbers were required to be 2” inches high and contrast with the house color.
