Attachment 3 <br /> 24 <br /> Orange Grove Volunteer Fire Company <br /> 6800 Orange Grove Road <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> 919-967-5858 <br /> In the spring of 2013 Orange Grove Fire Department compiled a list of locations within the Orange Grove <br /> Fire District that we had problems locating Fire and Emergency Medical calls. Here is a list of issues we <br /> were encountering. <br /> 1. Long driveways with multiple homes and no address numbers on or at the location. <br /> 2. Houses on one road but addressed on another road. <br /> 3. Mobile Home Parks where none or very few of the Mobile Homes were marked with an address or lot <br /> number. <br /> 4. Private roads with no signs. <br /> 5. Private roads with homemade signs made from wood that blend into the landscape and is hard to <br /> see. <br /> 6. Roads with no name. <br /> 7. Houses where the residents have a Post Office Box but they do not have the street address posted at <br /> their home. <br /> 8. Mobile Home Parks where there were 3 different addresses for each lot. <br /> 9. Road signs identifying roads that doesn't exist. <br /> 10. Roads that no longer exist. <br /> 11. Private roads that property owners has barricaded the road to prevent thru traffic from going <br /> through, including Emergency Vehicles. <br /> Since passing this information to the Tax Office Land Records/GIS Division, nearly all of these issues has <br /> been corrected.The other issues are currently being investigated.As more and more of the residents <br /> display their address numbers, it has helped Emergency Responders in quickly locating incidents.The <br /> staff at Land Records/GIS has kept in contact with the Fire Department as to the status of each of the <br /> items that we passed on to them which was more than 60 different issues in the Orange Grove Fire <br /> District.The Land Records/GIS Staff is doing a great service to the citizens of Orange County and to the <br /> Emergency Response System. <br /> When Orange Grove Fire Department receives updates from Land Records/GIS we update our road <br /> listings information that is carried on each apparatus.We also forward that information to the Orange <br /> County Ambulance crews that are now base at Orange Grove Fire Station 1. <br /> Paul Speight <br /> Deputy Chief <br /> Orange Grove Fire Department <br />
