SMOKE DETECTOR REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
The South Elgin & Countryside Fire Protection District recognizes that working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors save
lives and have created the Smoke Detector Replacement Program. The Illinois Fire Safety Alliance (CAMP I AM ME) is working with
South Elgin & Countryside to provide smoke detectors to our community. This program provides smoke alarms free of charge to
residents in our fire district who DO NOT ***have hardwired smoke detectors in their homes. The detectors will be installed
by firefighters to ensure the alarms are properly mounted and residents understand how to perform monthly tests.

For more information on our program and receiving a free home fire safety review and to have smoke detectors installed,
please call South Elgin Fire Station #21 @ (847)741-2141, MON–FRI 8am-4pm.

***Any home that has been intended to accommodate a hardwired system by code, must maintain the system as designed.
Residents living in rental properties or condominiums should contact their landlord or property owners association for
smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and /or batteries.


RESIDENTIAL KNOX BOX PROGRAM
This program is ideal for any individual that lives by themselves, or has an existing medical / physical condition that could render them unable to open a locked door in the event of an emergency situation. A key for your home is placed in a secured lock box that only South Elgin Fire personnel can open.
FILE OF LIFE
Imagine that you are injured or suffer from a medical condition that temporarily renders you unconscious or unable to communicate effectively with paramedics. Without important information about your medical history, how will medics be able to quickly diagnose your condition and provide emergency care? The File of Life packet enables EMS personnel to obtain a quick and accurate medical history when a patient or family member is unable to offer one. If you are interested in obtaining a File of Life packet please contact us at 847-741-2141.  You can also print one to complete by clicking here.  It's suggested to keep this in a place easily located by EMS or a family member in case of an emergency, such as on your refrigerator.
CPR PROGRAMS 
Healthcare provider, Basic Heartsaver CPR and Baby Sitter courses are available and are taught at the fire station.
