Living in Hoffman Estates means that we all know the challenges that arise during the winter months; Heavy snow storms, ice storms and a seasonal polar vortex. Here are some tips to keep you and your family safe!

Adopt a Fire Hydrant Program

Adopt a Fire Hydrant in your neighborhood! This helps reduce the amount of time our Fire Department spends to find the hydrants during a Fire Emergency. The minutes it takes to clear a hydrant could make a huge difference in life safety and structural damage.

While traveling during the winter months:

Help your family build an emergency supply kit for your car.  Collect these items and keep them in the trunk so you can find them easily.
