🔥 Fire Prevention Week 2025 — Wrapping Up Strong! 🔥
This week, the Sauk Village Fire Department had the privilege of visiting our District 168 schools — Blossoms, Wagoner, Strassburg, and Rickover — teaching students about this year’s theme: “Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home!”
Our crews shared lessons on:
Charging devices safely and spotting battery hazards 🔋
Creating a home fire escape plan 🏃♂️
The importance of working smoke alarms 🔔
“Stop, Drop, and Roll” and “Close Before You Doze” 🚪🔥
The excitement, curiosity, and teamwork from every class made this week unforgettable. Thank you to all the teachers, principals, and staff who helped make fire safety fun and engaging!
Congratulations to Our Door Decoration Contest Winners! 🎉
As part of Fire Prevention Week 2025—“Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home!”—our District 168 students brought the creativity! Thank you to every classroom that participated and to our amazing teachers and staff who helped make safety fun.
🍕 Each winning class will receive a Pizza Party courtesy of the Sauk Village Fire Department!
Special shoutout to all the students who highlighted smart charging, safe storage, and what to do if a battery overheats or smells odd. Your artwork helps spread real safety tips at home. 🔋🔥
Thank you, District 168, for the energy, teamwork, and school spirit—see you at the pizza parties! 🙌
