Protect your Family: Change your Clocks, Change your Batteries

As residents prepare to “spring” forward and move their clocks up one hour for daylight saving time this Sunday, March 12, the Lombard Fire Department encourages residents to change the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

"Moving your clocks forward for daylight saving time is an excellent reminder to check your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms,” said Fire Marshal Perry Johnson. “The simple act of changing the batteries in these devices could save your life and the lives of your loved ones.

As a reminder, an updated Smoke Alarm Law went into effect in Illinois on January 1, 2023, requiring any new smoke alarm installed within a single or multi-family home to be an alarm that features a 10-year sealed battery. Smoke alarms installed before the law went into effect are exempt from the requirement until they are 10 years old or until they fail to respond to the self-test or otherwise malfunction.

Drive Sober this St. Patrick's Day Weekend

All too often, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations turn deadly because of impaired driving. As the St. Patrick’s Day weekend approaches, the Lombard Police Department is joining local law enforcement across the state to stop impaired driving and help save lives. The campaign will run from March 10 through March 19.

“This year, St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Friday, leading to more parties throughout the weekend,” said Traffic Safety Unit Patrol Officer Dan Herrera. “If you’ve been drinking, using cannabis or any other impairing drug, we urge you to make the smart choice and plan for a sober driver to get you and your friends home safely.”
