Duh ... Forgot I was at my friend's house and she had opened an account here but has yet to post anything, so I merrily replied and, of course, it makes no sense since it wasn't "me" replying. Sorry about that, all. Anyway, here's my reply:

downeaster, Yes, she did have a lit post with her name, but she has a very ornate and dark sign and the numbers are next to impossible to read even in broad daylight.

Here, the EMTs are used to looking at the window for the number. Lampposts are second choice, adding/subtracting from neighboring houses is last alternative.

And, you're right, most of the time even a few minutes won't make much of a difference but there times even seconds matter, as was the case with my friend.
