Palatine Fire Department offering free loaner life jackets for kids
Posted June 21, 2023 1:00 am
The Palatine Fire Department has partnered with the BoatU.S. Foundation to provide free loaner life jackets for children.
The program allows families to check out children's life jackets for a period of up to one week, year-round.
To check them out, call the Palatine Fire Department at (847) 202-6340 or stop one of its five fire stations: Station 81, 1215 N. Quentin Road; Station 82, 1475 N. Hicks Road; Station 83, 987 E. Palatine Road; Station 84, 220 W. Illinois Ave.; Station 85, 39 E. Colfax St.
Bring a copy of your driver's license. If possible, bring your child as well, so a firefighter can properly size them with the appropriate life jacket.
