Don’t go fall shopping just yet!

Looks like summer isn’t over yet

As temperatures climb this week, remember to stay hydrated, take breaks from the heat, and check on those who may be more vulnerable to extreme temperatures.

Drink plenty of water
Take breaks in the shade or air conditioning
Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle

Stay cool and enjoy the last days of summer!

Working at the training tower today. Crews practiced ladder operations, engineering and EMS.

You can never be to safe! Illinois State Fire Marshal data showed more than 3,000 home fires are caused by extension cords every year?

Before you plug in that project, take a second:

✅ Use the RIGHT cord for the job
✅ Check for frays, cracks or damage
✅ Keep cords away from heat & water
🚫 NEVER plug one extension cord into another
🚫 NEVER use an extension cord as permanent wiring

That extra few seconds could prevent a fire. Use it safely. Stay safe, Addison! 🏠🔥

The crews enjoyed the pizza! Glad we could assist

This morning, our patrol officers responded to a home to help a family during a stressful situation involving their young child.

Later, the child’s father stopped by to thank our officers for responding so quickly and helping his family. He also brought pizzas for our officers and the Addison Fire Protection District as a thank-you for being there when his family needed help.

We truly appreciate the thoughtful gesture and are always grateful for the opportunity to serve our community. Thank you for thinking of our officers and Fire Department! ML204/MV418/SV429
