Two Important things I would like to add on this post, that can greatly increase the time it takes emergency workers to reach you in a timely manor.
1) MAKE SURE YOUR ADDRESS IS VISIBLE FROM THE STREET, AT NIGHT! If you cannot see your address at night from the road, imagine the
emergency workers, complete strangers , trying to locate you ( MD. law requires 4" numbers on a residence, and 6" on a business, visible at night. Don't know what Pa is)
2) While driving, and an emergency vehicle comes up behind you, PLEASE PULL TO THE RIGHT AND STOP!!. We are trained to pass you on the left,
even if the right travel lane is open.
These two things , may appear small and without consequence, but will GREATLY improve the time of travel , and ultimately finding your house.
Thanks Tuna ;
