Local realtor Kristina McCann of Chroma Realty is offering a public service of painting fresh house numbers on curbs as part of a campaign to make homes easier for first responders to find in the event of an emergency, be that fire, medical, or a crime in progress. McCann had a booth at the City of Orinda Wildfire Prevention and Safety Fair in Community Park on April 22, which was Earth Day. McCann is personally doing the work, and has done about a dozen homes thus far. Some of the painting was delayed by late spring rains, but curbs and gutters are now drying out and making it possible for her to apply the paint. She is painting a white background on the curb, followed by the house numbers, stenciled in black for maximum visibility. McCann believes in doing public outreach, which also promotes her work as a realtor. Lamorinda residents who would like McCann to paint their house numbers on their curbs can sign up at https://chromarealty.com/curbpainting
