πŸ”₯ UNDERSTANDING FIRE πŸ”₯

Fire is not just flames.

It produces extreme heat, toxic smoke, and dangerous gases that can turn deadly within minutes.

Many people think fire spreads slowly β€”
but modern fires can grow FAST because of plastics, foam, synthetic materials, and lightweight construction found in homes today.

πŸ”₯ FIRE BEHAVIOR:
βœ” Fire is HOT β€” heat spreads quickly and can ignite nearby materials
βœ” Fire is DARK β€” thick smoke reduces visibility and traps occupants
βœ” Fire is DEADLY β€” smoke and toxic gases can overcome people before flames reach them
βœ” Fire is FAST β€” a small fire can become life-threatening in just minutes

Knowing the basics of fire can help you:
- React faster
- Choose the right extinguisher
- Escape earlier
- Protect lives and property

⚠️ Remember:
β€’ Install smoke alarms
β€’ Never leave cooking unattended
β€’ Avoid overloaded outlets
β€’ Have an escape plan
β€’ Call emergency services early

Knowledge saves lives.
Know fire. Stay safe. πŸš’πŸ”₯

Grilling season is here… well, does it ever really end for some of us in the Midwest? 🌭πŸ”₯

If you’re firing up the grill for the first time this weekend, keep these important safety tips in mind:
β€’ Check propane gas lines and connections for leaks before lighting up
β€’ Keep grills away from siding, decks, and anything flammable
β€’ Never leave a hot grill unattended
β€’ Clean grease and fat buildup to help prevent flare-ups
β€’ Keep kids and pets a safe distance away from the grill area

Cheers to a great summer filled with good food, great company, and a season free from accidental fires! πŸ”β˜€οΈ

Today, the Village of Stickney and the Stickney Fire Department mourn the loss of Mayor Jeff Walik, a man whose life was deeply woven into the fabric of this community.

Long before he served as Mayor, Jeff served this village as a Stickney Police Officer. He wore the badge with pride, dedication, and a genuine love for the people he protected. Even after a career-ending injury, his commitment to Stickney never faded. He simply found another way to continue serving the town he cared so deeply about. Jeff was more than a Mayor. He was a friend, a co-worker, a mentor, and part of an era that many still look back on with pride and gratitude. His stories, his humor, and his unwavering passion for this village left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Jeff never stopped believing in Stickney. He fought for this community, stood beside its residents, and carried the village with him in everything he did. His legacy will live on not only through his years of service, but through the countless lives he touched along the way.

On behalf of the Stickney Fire Department, we extend our deepest condolences to the Walik family, his friends, and all who are grieving this tremendous loss.

Rest peacefully, Mayor Walik. ❀️
