South Chicago Heights Fire Department

10/11/2026

As Fire Prevention Week comes to a close, we want to send a massive THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this week such a resounding success! 🚒🔥

This year’s national campaign focused on the everyday charging habits that can help reduce the risk of lithium-ion battery fires from giving devices room to breathe to using the right manufacturer-approved chargers. Small changes in how we power up our electronics go a long way in keeping our homes and communities safe!

We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to:
🏫 School District 194 and Grant School for bringing students by the fire station to learn about fire safety!
🚓 South Chicago Heights Police Department for being a part of the children’s tour.
🏢 Winpak for partnering with us to hold their annual fire extinguisher training all week long.
🏡 Our amazing community, department, government entities, and business for showing up in full force and making our open house an unforgettable day!

Thank you for your continued support, curiosity, and commitment to keeping South Chicago Heights safe. Let's keep these safety habits going all year round!
