Camp I Am Me by Illinois Fire Safety Alliance and the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal recognizes and congratulates the Elk Grove Village Fire Department for their outstanding contributions to fire safety education and the installation of 1,000 10-year battery smoke alarms through active participation in the Be Alarmed! Smoke Alarm Installation Program.
In doing so, Elk Grove Village Fire Department has educated residents, young and old, on home fire safety and prevention methods and will directly reduce the number of fire-related injuries and deaths within their community.
“Through this tremendous initiative, Elk Grove Village residents receive fire safety education in their homes and now have over 1,000 more chances to “Be Alarmed!” should an unexpected fire occur in their residence. We thank all who have made this possible.”
