SPLIT ROCK VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT
Let's make our community a better place!
MINNEHAHA COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA
Notice
Fire chief Joe Egge of Split Rock Volunteer Fire Department has asked for assistance from the residents of Split Rock Township. Joe notes that over the years a number of the blue address signs have been moved, removed or landscaped around, so they have become impossible to see from the road. He noticed on a resent call not being able to see the address sign.
He said “I drove right by it”. .
Please review the placement of your sign and be sure it is visible from the road both in daylight and at night.
If your sign is missing, contact Minnehaha county.
Thank you
In Honor of Pam Kolseth
