Fire Hydrant Adoption Program

Fire Hydrant Adoption Program

The Fire Department is looking for new families for local fire hydrants within Des Plaines. All you need to care for the fire hydrants is clear them of snow and grass when they are in need of cleaning so that fire fighters are able to see them. In return for taking care of the fire hydrants you receive adoption papers, a map to location of your fire hydrant, and the satisfaction that you are helping the community of Des Plaines and its Fire Department. Fire hydrants are chosen based on proximity to your house or apartment.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt a fire hydrant please call 847-391-5340.
