The Lombard Fire Department invites residents to attend a fun and free community open house! The event will include fire safety games and the opportunity to meet your Lombard Firefighters and Paramedics. Everyone in attendance will get a closer look at Fire and EMS vehicles, the apparatus involved in firefighting and emergency responses. This year’s Fire Prevention Week Theme, “Not Every Hero Wears a Cape. Plan and Practice Your Escape!” The campaign works to educate everyone about the small but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe. Participants who have purchased a pink shirt in August are invited to wear their shirts for a group photo with the Fire Department at 7 p.m. The pink shirts are sold annually to raise funds that support Good Samaritan Hospital’s Cancer Care Center and Firefighters will wear them in October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
