Public Education

No matter how well equipped, well staffed and well trained a fire department is we cannot, by responding to an incident, save lives and minimize property loss as well as by preventing that incident from occurring in the first place. In light of this, the Palatine Fire Department places a high priority on public education. There are a number of different programs we provide or participate in throughout the year which give us the opportunity to serve our residents and allow them to help us keep them safe.

One of the most common questions we hear is about safety in apartment buildings and condominiums, especially high-rises. The Palatine Fire Department has developed a fire safety brochure especially for our residents who live in multi-family dwellings. Click here for a .pdf copy of that publication.
