Can you find the fire hydrant in the left picture? If you had trouble, imagine what the driver of an emergency vehicle might miss in the dark during a snowstorm. Hydrants must be clearly marked and cleared of snow.
If you have a fire hydrant on or near your property, please help keep it free of snow and debris. Remember that snow blowers and plows can bury or damage hydrants. Hydrants are only useful when they are accessible. Also, avoid planting shrubs or bushes next to fire hydrants. Landscaping can easily grow large enough to hide the fire hydrant. The fire department has recently initiated a program of installing reflective hydrant flags on the Village's hydrants. Thank you for helping keep our community safe.
If you should have any concerns or questions regarding the fire hydrants, please contact the fire prevention bureau at 708-447-1981. If you are calling to report a damaged or leaking fire hydrant, please contact the Department of Public Works at 708-762-5885.
