Home Address City Code

From Scottsbluff Fire Department

Do you ever wonder what a house wears?

It wears address!

See what we did there….Not having your address posted on your home can cause delays in us getting to your emergency when seconds count.

Per our adopted City Code, any new and existing buildings, at minimum, should have their address posted so that it can be visible from the street. It should be at least 4 inches high, with a stroke width of a half an inch, numbers should not be spelled out, and shall contrast with their background.

Can you spot what’s wrong with the image below? If you noted the address is matching the same color as the house, you would be correct! And at night time, it can make it even more challenging to see the numbers. The bigger the address identifier, the better! If it can be illuminated at night time, while not required, would really assist us in locating your residence or business.

If you have any questions, please contact Fire Prevention Officer Chris Perales at cperales@scottsbluff.org or (308)630-6227.

Watch out for the rattlesnake on Omaha Beach if you're out at Lake McConaughey. At 5 p.m. last night on July 23rd, there was a snake spotted. Pretty good size. Please be aware of your surroundings while enjoying the lake. They're out and this heat will have them looking for water and cool places as the summer continues. Muhammad Ali once said, service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth. The Hershey Volunteer Fire Department posted that meaningful and timeless message yesterday as a reminder that the recent fires highlights the amazing communities we serve. If you want to give back, contact your local fire department. There is a construction update in Torrington. The East D Street construction project is in its final stages and there will be some closure changes over the next few days. If you haven't driven through the area lately, East D Street is now open to East 28th Avenue, which provides an easy connection to Main Street. The Chadron Area 9-1-1 lines were down yesterday. They have been restored after they learned that a fiber optic had been cut at an unknown location. The Mitchell Volunteer Fire Department recently posted that they responded to a grass fire on July 20th in the area of Murphy Road and Highway 29 north of Mitchell and Sioux County. It was likely started from a lightning strike as thunderstorms moved through the area. Luckily, the rain from those storms put out the fire before it could get very big. They did respond with eight trucks and multiple personnel. The Alliance Fire Department project is complete. They wrote, "she's a beaut, Clark. After a six-month refurbishment project, we're happy to welcome number 342 home." Thank you to Frytech Inc. for all your hard work and taking our vision and making it a reality.
