OUR HOME SAFEY PROGRAM
Updated law in Illinois effective January 1, 2023 encourages all residents to replace their old smoke alarms with a type that has a long-term, 10-year sealed battery.
Inspecting smoke / carbon monoxide alarm:
- Test the unit on a regular basis.
- Do not paint.
- Secure to the ceiling or highest point.
Smoke and/or Carbon monoxide alarms should be installed at all levels of the home. Our Safe Home Program has been successful in assisting older adults over the age of 65 or disabled residents within our fire district.
The on-duty Firefighters will come to your home and inspect your smoke & carbon monoxide alarm(s) to ensure they operate properly. If the smoke alarm(s) require replacement, we will replace them free of charge with a new 10-year smoke alarm. If you would like more information or would like to participate in the program, please contact Lt. Anton at 630.627.1940 ext. 233, [email protected] or fill out our contact form below.
