Comment on House Address “Twins” Proximity (2017)

Comments

We got caught out by this on a beach vacation. Our infant son was running a fever and ultimately had a febrile seizure, scaring the crap out of us.

We were in the west half of a duplex on East 1st Street, so the address was 123W E First St. I called 911 and in the process sent the first responders to 123 W First St. (Everything turned out okay, but response was delayed by at least 10 minutes. I recommended they change the addresses to 123A and 123B instead of East and West. That was denied.)
