Basketball Hoops

Palm Bay Fire Department asks for your help in protecting property and life. 

Portable basketball hoops at the edge of the roadway, especially at night, are virtually unseen until you are right on top of them.  Headlights do not shine high enough and there is no reflective material on the basket to identify it in any way. 

Why are we concerned? The metal hoop can damage taller vehicles and, in the Fire Department’s case, will strike the windshield on the passenger side of the engine, taking the vehicle out of service and possibly injuring or causing death to the person riding in this seat.

 We request that you please move your portable basketball hoops out of the right of way when they are not in use. 

Thank you for your assistance.
