Public Education
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 (PDF) especially for our residents who live in multi-family dwellings.
If you have any questions on fire safety or would like to schedule a program for your group, please contact our office at 847-202-6340.
