First Responding Groups Pushing Updated Signage for DeWitt County Residents

Whether you live in rural areas of DeWitt County of one of the communities, first responding agencies are hoping residents will update the addressing signs of their homes.

 

According to Wapella Fire Chief, Nelson Thorpe, the County's first responders can, in many cases, have trouble identifying where they are going because of issues not only with GPS but with the current addressing system.

 

 

According to DeWitt County Sheriff Jered Shofner, emergency officials want to make sure everyone has a sign up at their home so they are offering senior citizens help in covering the fee of $15 and getting the sign up.

 

 

Chief Thorpe notes they also want to make sure homes match up with the address. He says this is still a challenge they see in DeWitt County.

 

 

Chief Thorpe says the best to get accurate information is to contact him directly at 217-620-0460.
