2017 FIRE PREVENTION WEEK“EVERY SECOND COUNTS –

PLAN 2 WAYS OUT!”

In observance of the 2017 Fire Prevention Week,October 8 – 14, the National Fire ProtectionAssociation (NFPA) has themed this year’s FirePrevention Week – “Every Second Counts – Plan2 Ways Out!”In a fire, seconds count. Seconds can mean thedifference between residents of our communityescaping safely from a fire or having their livesend in tragedy. That’s why this year’s Fire Prevention Weektheme: “Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out!”is so important. It reinforces why everyone needsto have an escape plan. Following are safetymeasures to put into practice, to help keep yourfamily safe:• Draw a map of your home with all members of

your household, marking two exits from each room and a path to the outside from each exit.

• Practice your home fire drill twice a year. Conduct one at night and one during the day with everyone in your home, and practice usingdifferent ways out.

• Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them.

• Make sure the number of your home is clearly marked and easy for the fire department to find.

• Close doors behind you as you leave – this may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire.

• Once you get outside, stay outside. Never go back inside a burning building.

STREAMWOOD FIRE DEPARTMENTFire Prevention Week – October 8 through October 14 – what a perfectopportunity to highlight the Village of Streamwood’s dedicated Fire Department.

In January of 1958, a volunteer Streamwood Fire Department wasestablished under the Hanover-Wayne Fire Protection District. In order to servethe needs of the growing community, the Village of Streamwood establishedits current municipal Fire Department on May 1, 1969. From this modestbeginning, the Streamwood Fire Department has grown to become a team ofhighly trained and well-equipped professionals serving the community twenty-fourhours per day. The Department is an All-Hazards organization, providing FireProtection, Emergency Medical Services, Hazardous Materials Response, andTechnical and Water Rescue. The Department also offers a number of public

outreach programs to educate our community and promote fire and life safety. Today, 51 employees serve the residents fromthree locations in the Village. The Department’s Fire Administration is located in Station #33 at 1095 E Schaumburg Road.Two additional full service stations, at 1204 S. Park (Station #31) and at 900 W. Irving Park Road (Station #32), ensurefull coverage of our entire community and the best possible service to our residents and businesses.

Emergency Medical ServicesEach year, the Department responds to nearly 4,000 emergency requests. The largest percentage of calls is for medicalassistance. In addition to their roles as firefighters, all of the Department’s personnel are licensed paramedics. TheDepartment provides Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulance service from each of its three fire station locations. Due toproximity, 90% of patient responses are transported, as necessary, to AMITA Health St. Alexius Medical Center in HoffmanEstates. Other local area hospitals used for transportation include: Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin; Presence Saint JosephMedical Center in Elgin; and AMITA Health Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village

Fire SuppressionIn 1997, the Department achieved a Class 3 rating from ISO, the Insurance ServicesOrganization. This impressive score reflects the ability of the Department to protect allof its residential, commercial and industrial occupancies from the hazards of fire. Thisrating is given after careful consideration and evaluationof the resources within the

Department, including staff levels, equipment and station locations, and fire safety plans. The staffing levels, equipment andstation locations along with fire safety plans that exist were used to determine this favorable rating.

Rescue and Specialized ServicesAs part of their resources, the Department maintains specialized teams capable of providing emergency assistance in unusualsituations. Because of an increasing number of situations, a Hazardous Materials team was organized inside the Departmentin 1988. Highly trained specialists are capable of supporting emergency operations in many situations that involvehazardous or toxic substances. The Haz-Mat Team now consists of 13 members and the most up-to-date equipment. In1998, a Specialized Rescue and Confined Space Team was formed to provide additional capabilities in challenging rescuesituations. Presently, the Department has specially trained members that provide support to Department operations. We arevery proud of the Department's Incident investigators Team and currently have 12 highly trained members that are certifiedby the State Fire Marshal. Our public education committee members have been teaching life safety throughout the Villageand schools for over 20 years. Our school program that is taught to preschool through sixth grade by the Department’sfirefighter/paramedics, and is considered to be one of the finest programs in the northwest suburbs.
