Citizens Fire Academy -395 (1)

The Lombard Fire Department invites citizens living or working in Lombard to participate in its 2nd Annual Citizen’s Fire Academy, beginning September 14, 2022. The academy is led by Lombard firefighters and designed to provide participants a unique opportunity to learn about the work and training our Lombard Firefighters perform on a daily basis.

The Citizen’s Fire Academy is a free, five-week program held on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Lombard Fire Station #45, 50 E St. Charles Rd. The program will begin on September 14 and run through October 12, 2022.   

The academy will consist of classroom instruction, interactive discussions, and hands-on practical exercises focusing on various aspects of being a firefighter, including wearing personal protective equipment, extinguishing a fire, climbing a ladder, vehicle extrication, and much more. After completing the program, participants will have a better understanding of how the Lombard Fire Department responds to fire and medical emergencies. 

To be eligible, individuals must be at least 18 years old and live or work in the Lombard. Class size will be limited to 10 participants. 

Applications are due by August 19, 2022, and are available for printing on the Village’s website at www.villageoflombard.org/citizensacademy, or may be picked up at Lombard Village Hall, 255 E.
