🚨 EMERGENCY POWER SHUTOFF & EVACUATION NOTICE

ComEd has temporarily shut off electrical power from Lincoln Lane to 137th Street and from Kostner Avenue to Komensky Avenue, including the area around 135th Street.

The temporary power shutoff is due to a severe gas leak in the area. The precautionary shutoff is intended to prevent potential sparks or ignition if gas is present in nearby homes or properties.

The affected area has been evacuated. Emergency crews are currently on site and working to address the situation. The estimated repair time is approximately 2–4 hours.

Residents and individuals in or near the affected area are urged to:

Follow all evacuation instructions from emergency personnel. Avoid creating sparks, using open flames, or operating anything that could cause ignition.
Stay clear of the affected area and allow emergency crews to work safely.

Follow instructions from emergency personnel, ComEd, and other utility crews.

Please share this information with neighbors, family members, and anyone who may be affected.

Thank you for your cooperation and patience while emergency personnel and utility crews work to resolve this situation safely.

Chief Engineer Charles Johnson graduated from High School in 1979. That night, instead of going out to celebrate, he literally came straight to the Firehouse in his cap and gown and sat in front of the station all night. That is the type of commitment that Charles had to the Robbins Fire Department and the community, he will truly be missed.

A big thank you to the Illinois Fire Service Institute for bringing the driving simulator trailer to our department and providing this valuable training. We appreciate your continued support in helping us improve our skills and better serve the residents of Robbins.
