Fire Suppression & Rescue Services

This is the Operational part of our Department as it relates to responding to Fire and all other Emergencies.  We currently have Auto-Aid agreements which gives us additional support when responding to Structure Fires or larger scale incidents. When the Public calls, we respond.  We are also responsible for Fire Protection for the Village of Dixmoor.

Fire Prevention Bureau/Inspectional Services

Fire Prevention Bureau

Our Fire Prevention Bureau is responsible for educating the public.  Our motto is “an Ounce of Prevention is worth a Pound of Cure”.  We offer these educational services by attending special events throughout the City including safety fairs, health fairs, block clubs and business invitations.  In addition to offering station tours, we also perform presentations for schools, churches, day cares and community organizations. 

Inspectional Services

In conjunction with the Building and Planning Department we conduct Business inspections to identify Fire hazards and ensure that Businesses are up to code and compliant, thus being safe for customers and patrons. 

Our division will also conduct residential inspections upon request to educate home owners on Fire safety, escape plans, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and any other information we deem beneficial for a safer environment. 

Community Outreach

Our Department as a whole is committed to Community Outreach, and our signature program demonstrates this. 

Project Install

The Harvey Fire Department wants every citizen of this Community to have at least one working smoke alarm in their home.  If you DO NOT have a working smoke alarm and are not able to afford one, the Fire Department will provide and install one free of charge.
