Reminder: Change your Clocks, Change your Batteries As residents prepare to “spring forward” for daylight saving time on Sunday, March 8, the Lombard Fire Department is reminding everyone to take a moment to check the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Worn-out or missing batteries are the leading cause of non-working smoke alarms. Replacing them at least once a year, testing alarms, and reminding others to do the same can help prevent fire-related injuries and deaths.

Lombard Fire Department Responds to Residential FireOn the evening of March 3, the Lombard Fire Department responded to a residential fire in the 2S100 block of Lloyd Avenue after a neighbor reported smoke and flames coming from the home. Fire crews arrived within minutes and found flames visible on the exterior with heavy smoke from the roof. Firefighters quickly contained the fire and safely removed an adult male from inside the home. The fire was brought under control within approximately 10 minutes. Fire damage was limited to the area of origin and a portion of the attic, and no injuries were reported. The Lombard Fire Investigation Unit is investigating the cause of the fire. Several neighboring fire departments assisted with the response.
