Special Needs Registration

In the event of a house fire, seconds count! If you're handicapped or have special needs, those seconds can turn into long minutes. We're here to help.

If you are handicapped, or know of someone who has special needs and may need help exiting their home in an emergency, please let us know.

In conjunction with Bucks County Emergency 9-1-1 Dispatch, we've initiated a program that will alert responding police, medical, and fire personnel that someone at the address has special needs. This pro-active information will allow the emergency personnel to arrive prepared and aware of a special-needs occupant.

To register this information, call the Upper Makefield Police Department at 215-968-3020 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. All information given is strictly confidential. Download a Residential Handicap Form.

Also, if you know any special needs residents who could use assistance installing or checking their smoke alarms, or require any other fire-safety help, please call the Fire Marshal at 215-968-3340.
