Excerpt from Today's September 11 Ceremony
Remembering September 11: 5-5-5-5 Code
Long before telephones and radios, fire departments used the telegraph to communicate. When the handle was pulled on the once-familiar red fire alarm boxes found on nearly every street corner of America, a special code was transmitted to every fire station.
When a firefighter died in the line of duty, the fire alarm office would tap out a special signal. That signal was five measured dashes, then a pause, then five measured dashes, another pause…then five more dashes. This became universally known as the Tolling of the Bell and was broadcast over all telegraph fire alarm circuits.
This variation on the Tolling of the Bell ceremony for fallen firefighters is still performed across the United States, including in New York City. Today Lincolnwood's Fire and Police Departments honored those who lost their lives on September 11 in a ceremony which included this tradition outside of Village Hall.
Completed Standpipe Rehabilitation Project
The Standpipe Rehabilitation Project was recently completed. This project included the painting of the steel tank which is featured in this video.

Did the turkey see his shadow? #Lincolnwood #GroundhogDay
The Police Department would like to remind residents that they should take pre-emptive measures to keep their vehicles safe including:
• Whenever leaving your vehicle parked outside, make sure that you keep the vehicle locked.
• Do not keep any valuable items in the vehicle (especially in plain sight to anyone who walks by the car). These are just free things for a potential thief to steal.
• Do not keep FOBs in the vehicle that will allow criminals to steal the vehicle.
• Do not leave the vehicle running and unattended, even if it is just for a couple of minutes.
• Leave porch lights and other exterior lights on to deter criminal activity.
If you see suspicious activity, please contact 9-1-1 immediately. To learn more about these tips, please contact Randy Rathmell, Police Lieutenant, at (847) 673-2167.
Get out of the house this weekend and go ice skating at Proesel Park for free
Prevent motor vehicle theft and burglary by keeping your car doors locked and valuables out of sight.
