Adopt a Hydrant
Arlington Heights residents can take an active role in helping to keep their community safe, by participating in the "Adopt-A-Fire Hydrant." This is a strictly voluntary program and involves no liabilities or actual responsibilities beyond the suggestions below.
Volunteers interested in assisting the Fire Department can simply adopt a fire hydrant and perform the following tasks to help keep it clear in the event of an emergency:
- Maintain a 3-foot radius around the fire hydrant that is clear from snow and shrubbery.
- Watch for evidence of fire hydrant vandalism or removal of caps.
- Call Public Works at 847-368-5800 if you notice the hydrant leaking or observe other damage.
