Annual Open House
Every year during Fire Prevention Week, the Fire Department hosts an open
house at Fire Station #1, 105 North First Avenue. The purpose of this event
is to spread the fire safety message by encouraging everyone to come out
and see what the department has to offer.
The all-day event includes live demonstrations of different rescue and firefighting
equipment, dive, vertical rescue, children's safety house, live fire and sprinkler demonstrations, auto extrication, kids' challenge obstacle course, handouts and information
on a variety of different programs and public safety topics.
We highly encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to take
a tour, visit with the different members of the department, and to ask any
questions that you might have.
Block Party Visits
The Fire Department is happy to participate, when requested, in all
permitted block parties.
A fire engine will visit the block party, and the firefighters will
answer questions, demonstrate various pieces of equipment, and open
the apparatus for viewing.
Residents should contact the Police Department at (630) 377-4435 first
to obtain the proper permit.
Residents in unincorporated areas may contact the Fire Department
directly at (630) 377-4457. |
