Fire Prevention

If we can’t see your address …We can’t find you. 

Seconds count when you have a fire or medical emergency.

Accidents and fires happen. When these emergencies occur,  precious seconds lost trying to find an address can mean the difference between life and death. The East Dundee Fire Protection District has initiated a rural address sign program. Members of the  East Dundee Fire Protection District will be providing and installing for  FREE these much-needed, obvious address signs near the end of your driveway. These easy-to-read signs have ?″ white reflective numbers on an ?″ x ?″ red aluminum plate affixed to a green steel post. While the signs help the fire district find you, they also help other public safety agencies such as police, animal control, and ambulance.  The signs are also of tremendous benefit to delivery companies such as UPS or FedEx and utility services such as gas, phone, power, and cable. They will also aid visitors in locating rural residents much faster and easier.  

This program is for residents that live within the rural areas of East Dundee Fire Protection District only and are not available for those that reside within another fire agency’s district.

If you live in the East Dundee Fire Protection Districts rural area and are interested in participating in this program, please call The Fire Bureau at 847-426-7521 x410 during regular business hours to obtain the proper paperwork and to schedule the installation of your rural address sign.
