National Fire Prevention Week Focuses on Kitchen Safety
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in the United States. Almost half (44%) of reported home fires start in the kitchen. Two-thirds (66%) of home cooking fires start with the ignition of food or other cooking materials.
The Lombard Fire Department is sharing safety tips during Fire Prevention Week and reminding residents how to "Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen!"

Halloween Recommendations and Reminders
The Village is sharing reminders and recommendations from the Illinois Department of Public Health and the CDC regarding Halloween and trick-or-treating during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While the Village has annually recommended trick-or-treating hours from 3-7 p.m., to help keep our community safe, there is no official policy or ordinance in place with designated or enforceable hours, beyond recommended guidance. - The Village’s top priority is resident safety. Ultimately, each resident must make the decision as to whether or not they would like to engage in Halloween activities, and if so, how.
- If you choose to trick-or-treat on Halloween night, please take extra precautions to maintain social distance, wear masks, avoid touching of the face (mouth/nose/eyes), and use hand sanitizer often.
- Citizens not wishing to participate in trick-or-treating may turn off their porch lights and close their door to indicate their non-participation. Residents may also display a sign indicating that their house is not participating in trick-or-treating.
