Plan and Practice Your Home Fire Escape Plan 

When a fire occurs, there is no time to waste. In less than 30 seconds, a small flame can become a major fire. That’s why the Lombard Fire Department urges residents to create and practice a home escape plan with their families.

Identify two escape routes from every room and establish a designated meeting place outside. For multi-story homes, consider a UL-approved collapsible ladder for upper-level exits. Practice E.D.I.T.H. (Exit Drills in the Home) by sounding the smoke alarm, crawling low under smoke, and checking doors for heat before opening them. Get out first, then call 9-1-1.

Review and practice your plan at least twice a year to ensure everyone knows what to do in an emergency.

Winter Reminders 

As winter continues, residents are reminded to stay prepared for snow and extreme cold. Snowfall, icy conditions, and freezing temperatures can create challenges for travel and home maintenance. 

Please review the following reminders and resources: 

Snow Plowing

Visit our Snow Plowing page for detailed information about how the Public Works Department performs snow plowing, as well as frequently asked questions related to snow operations.

Residential Street Parking

After 1" of snowfall, residential street parking is not allowed. Residents are encouraged to avoid street parking during any winter weather conditions. Cars parked on streets greatly reduce the speed and efficiency of plowing and salting efforts. Requests for overnight street parking will not be granted during winter weather events. 

Warming Centers

Warming centers are available to residents when triggered by extreme temperatures. View Dupage County Warming Centers near Lombard on the 211 DuPage County webpage. 

Frozen Water Pipes

Often times in extremely cold weather, pipes in your house may freeze. See the Frozen Water Pipes page for tips to avoid frozen pipes and what to do if a pipe does freeze.
