If you only burn occasionally, then once every couple of years should be sufficient. Failure to do this will cause a buildup of creosote, and the next time a fire is lit it could ignite the creosote and cause a fire in the chimney, which could spread to the house. Often, the occupants of the home do not even know this is occurring until a neighbor alerts them, or the fire department shows up. If there is an accidental fire, the best chance of surviving is to have working smoke alarms placed on each level of the home and outside of each sleeping area. Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years. For assistance in locating a place for CO or smoke alarms in your home, or for a FREE home safety inspection, contact the Roselle Fire Prevention Bureau at (630) 671-2842.

SnowAnti-icing Plowof the roadways Season in Roselle Is Just typically Around begins before the a snowfall, Corner with the application of brine, a liquid anti-icing salt solution. Rows of white, chalky lines are created on the roads during the brine application process. The brine application provides additional time before the snow and ice begin to build up on the pavement. Brine is not applied to the streets if rain is predicted before the snow, as it would be washed off the pavement before becoming effective. Once the snow starts falling, Public Works typically begins plowing operations after two to three inches of snow has fallen, or sooner if road condition reports indicate the need. Please remember to exercise caution when driving in snowy and icy conditions. With the exception of Central Avenue, all of the local roads in Roselle have a posted speed limit of 30 miles per hour or less. When road conditions become hazardous and snow and ice control procedures are required, major streets are cleared of snow and ice first. These are streets that have a high volume of traffic and higher speed limits. After all major routes have been cleared of snow or ice, plows will then plow snow and ice from the secondary streets, followed by alleys, cul-de-sacs and dead end streets with low traffic volume. Parking is prohibited on ALL streets when there is a snowfall of 3 inches or more.

State and county agencieswww.roselle.il.us handle most of the main roads running through Roselle, (Lake St., Gary Ave., Fall 2019 Irving Park Rd., Roselle Rd., Nerge Rd.), and the Village is responsible for most of the side streets and 11 residential areas. Think
