The Mansfield Fire Department is promoting an initiative to have residents purchase a reflective sign for their residences.  These signs are designed to be affixed to mailboxes, posts, or in any other way such as they are visible from the roadways.  In accordance with Town of Mansfield ordinance §111-4, all buildings must be labeled with 3.5" (three and one-half inch) reflective numbers.  These signs will meet that requirement for residents. 

These signs are also available to non-residents.
