READING AN ADDRESS
What determines a Street vs. a Place or Avenue vs. a Drive?•The travel direction (remember D.A.N.S. & S.P.E.W.)•Is the road on grid or block line (remember the 330’)
Boulevards, Roads, Courts, Circles and other names are roadways that meander and do not follow any one
direction or are reserved for roadways not falling on a grid/block
line.
You will notice that 36th Ave. is on the grid/block line and is designated as an Ave. When the road begins to
meander it changes to Gage Boulevard.

address is.
“10” is the house number. It doesn’t meanIt is the 10th house on the street. It’s telling youIt’s even, so it will be on the SOUTH side of the
road. House numbers generally go to 33 (remember the 330’ to a block). So this house is closer to the middle of the block than the end.

READING AN ADDRESS
A little message to our Emergency Vehicle Drivers. When the
alarm comes in you, as the driver you should know where you’re
going. Don’t just run to the apparatus and get the reds flashing.
Stop at the map, look to where you’re going, know the general
direction that you are heading.
Once you are to the vicinity the company officer will direct you to
the exact location.
READING AN ADDRESS
You are the driver for the day. With the address given state the
general area this address is located and explain the best route to
get there. Remember you are the driver…don’t explain how to
pull into the exact driveway…Use the district wall map and get
your crew to the area. (Respond from your assigned station.)
Choose 5 addition address in your jurisdiction and test your
drivers.
READING AN ADDRESS
Throughout this presentation I used the word “Generally”.
All though there are rules to reading maps…many of those
rules are broken quite often.
Know your response area and don’t be surprised when
addressing does not jive with the norm.
