Time will be of the essence, that’s why Geralyn Hoyt, President/Chief of the Southbury Ambulance Association, is reminding every resident, homeowner, property owner, and businessman to display a three inch reflective house number at the end of their driveway. The number should also be on a person’s house or a place of business, near the front door.

Help them because they always want to be there quickly to help you
