The Fire District has a program to "register" residents with special needs that may hinder their ability to self evacuate in the event of a fire or emergency.

The Illinois Premise Alert Program (430 ILCS 132/1 et seq) provides for Public Safety Agencies in the State of Illinois to allow people with special needs to provide information to police, fire and EMS personnel to be kept in a database. The information can then be provided to Police/Fire/EMS units responding to the specified locations in dealing with situations involving the Special Needs individuals.

The information provided by you will be kept confidential and used only to provide Police, Fire and EMS personnel responding to specified locations with the information needed to deal with situations or emergencies involving a Special Needs person.

If you would like to register, please contact Deputy Chief Timothy Jones @ 847-253-8060 x222 or via email tjones@phfire.com
