At the beginning of 2018, the nonprofit IFSA and OSFM launched the Be Alarmed! smoke alarm installation program, a fire safety education and smoke alarm installation initiative administered cooperatively between the two organizations. The program distributes fire safety educational materials and 10-year, concealed-battery smoke alarms to participating fire departments in the State of Illinois. Departments then distribute the educational materials and install smoke alarms in at-risk homes within their communities. Both the educational materials and smoke alarms are provided to fire departments at no cost as a result of funding from both the IFSA and OSFM. “We are excited to be able to partner with the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance and State Fire Marshal’s Office in providing these 10-year battery smoke alarms to Mayor George Van Dusen, Village Manager John Lockerby, Interim our residents,” said Skokie Fire Department Deputy Chief Kathleen Furgala. Fire Chief Jeffrey Hoeflich and Deputy Fire Chief Kathleen Furgala “Fire can spread through a home in a matter of minutes, and smoke alarms receive award from representatives of both the Office of the Illinois can give residents the warning needed to get out safely.”The alarms through State Fire Marshal and the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance. the Be Alarmed! program are free to community residents, but must be installed by trained fire department personnel.

  • BOE Regular Meeting 7/13/2021 7:30 PM
    MEETING: BOE Regular Meeting 7/13/2021 7:30 PM Comments are listed in the order submitted via the electronic form. -------------------------------------------- Subject Matter: Safety and Security Recommendations When I went to high school, there was not Police officer on duty at school, but then we heard about Flint Michigan in 2000. From then on, there have been school shootings yearly. Certainly not having a dedicated SRO will embolden assailants and increase these events. Drugs are another problem in high school and a police officer certainly helps deter some of this. Lastly violence between students is subdued thanks to the SRO. Removal of the SRO is nothing more than a political move that some individuals are trying to push through our school board. If any one officer shows any signs of improper conduct he should be replaced, however it cannot be assumed that all officers are out to get the minority kids. The officer is there to help our kids. I don't want people on the board with no kids in the school making bad choices for us to elevate themselves politically. Allison beerger Subject Matter: D219 bo e To the board of education at Niles North High School, I am the current parent of a Niles North High School student . I hope that you will consider appointing Dr Paul Cantz or Alan Levy for the current open board positions. I believe they will be fair and free of political biases which we need in our school. Thank you for considering their appointment. Furthermore , thank you for changing the date of graduation from the Jewish Sabbath as my child and we observe the sabbath on Saturday.
