Winter Parking Reminders


With the snowstorm expected this Friday (3/3), the Village of Lombard asks residents to be mindful of street parking rules. 


Parking on Village of Lombard streets is not allowed after 1” of snowfall. If more than 1” of snowfall is experienced, residents and visitors are responsible for removing their vehicles from the street to create a clear passage for snowplows. This helps our Public Works crews work safely and efficiently to keep our streets clear of snow and ice.

Fire Department Responds to Fatal Structure Fire


On Tuesday, February 28, 2023, at approximately 6:18 a.m., the Lombard Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire on the 100 block of West North Avenue. A neighbor called 911 after seeing smoke coming from the house. 


The first Fire Department crews arrived at 6:21 a.m. and found smoke coming from the roof and eaves of the house. Upon entering the house, a small fire was found in the kitchen and quickly extinguished. While searching the house, the resident and a dog were found deceased in the basement. Crews remained on the scene for approximately one hour, performing overhaul and extinguishing hot spots.


“This is a devastating tragedy, and our hearts go out to the friends and family of the victim,” said Deputy Fire Chief Ray Kickert. 


The fire is under investigation by the Lombard Fire Investigations Unit, DuPage County Fire Investigation Task Force and the Lombard Police Department. The fire caused an estimated $100,000 in damage to the house, which was deemed uninhabitable.
