Fire Numbers
A fire number identified your residence in Hickory Grove Township. It is very important that these signs be posted as fire and EMT services rely on them. The Town will provide the original sign and post it on the entrance of the property, but if it needs to be replaced it will be your responsibility to do so at your cost. Make sure the sign is always legible.
