Westmont, Illinois
Date Issued: September 28, 2020
Update: October 6, 2020
Due to COVID-19, the Westmont Fire Department (WFD) will not be able to host their annual Fire Prevention Week Open House nor participate in the Silent Parade, which was cancelled. “Unfortunately, we cannot open our doors to the public this year,” said Westmont Fire Chief Steve Riley. “We will miss seeing everyone in person, but hope that the video presentations we’re creating will be educational and entertaining.”
Fire Inspectors Neil Berkowitz and Dave Zalesiak will be producing the videos which will include a kitchen safety presentation and tours of various fire department vehicles and apparatus. These videos will be posted on the Westmont Fire Department’s Facebook page during fire prevention week, which is October 4-10.
