In emergency, minutes lost looking for an address can be critical. Address
numbers should be at least 4" tall, and displayed between 3 and 5
ft. off the ground. Address signs must be visible from the road and well-lit
or highly reflective.
If you need address numbers for your home or business, contact District
10. Here is the information about address signs.
When consumer
products fail they can cause fires, injuries and even deaths. To prevent
death and injury, the Congress enacted the Consumer Product Safety Act
of 1972. This law directs the Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to "protect the public". The CPSC's
web site disseminates information about products that may cause injury.
Clearing flammable materials from around
the home creates a defensible space. A minimum 30-ft. buffer reduces the
chance of wildfire from spreading to your home. On steeper ground, as
much as 100 feet of clearance may be necessary.
Here are some tips for designing and maintaining your landscape.
The practice of using burning barrels is illegal in Spokane County.
Property owners can be held liable for all damages and losses that occur
from fires that they have started or managed illegally.
