Summary

The Beaver Island Fire Department offered reflective, fire-department-approved street-number signs to help emergency responders identify driveways. The signs were green with silver numbers, mounted on five-foot metal posts, and sold for $25 through the Fire Department Auxiliary.

Evidence limits

The notice establishes the offer and design, not the number of signs ordered, installation locations, or response-time effect.
