Don’t lead us off the beaten track this Christmas.
In an emergency, every second counts. Police in Mid Ulster are asking you to consider the visibility of your house number so emergency services can locate you quickly when you need help.
Mid Ulster is a largely rural district. Homes in the countryside often feature long, winding driveways and front doors without clear numbering. This can make it difficult for emergency services to find your home, especially during the darker nights of winter when visibility is reduced. Your postman may know which house is yours but do the police, fire, or ambulance service?
A clearly visible house number placed at the bottom of your driveway or near your front door can mean the difference between seconds and minutes. In an emergency, that matters. Gift yourself peace of mind this Christmas and make sure a police officer, paramedic, or firefighter can find you quickly.
