NEW E-911 LOCATER GLOW SIGNS ARE FREE TO CALHOUN RESIDENTS

(11/16/2009)

Calhoun residents and businesses are eligible for a free sign designating their new E-911 address.

The glow signs will assist emergency responders in finding locations.

The signs can be ordered by calling the 911 Center at 304-354-0911 and leaving a message for Gary Buchanan.

Buchanan says the signs are free, with local fire departments installing the signs for a $10 donation.

The sign also comes with a post with a sharp end and mounting screws.

Residents who have received notification letters of their new address are eligible.

If you choose to install your own 911 sign, it should be placed on the side of the road at the entrance to your home or driveway.

Locating the sign on a mailbox on the opposite side of the road is not acceptable.
