A staff member said the village’s fire department is marking October as Fire Prevention Month and offering smoke detectors and installation for homes and businesses.

The remark, presented at the meeting, said the department "do a good job" visiting local schools and businesses and distributing detectors. The staff member added that "if you still want two smoke detectors per home, just contact the fire department, and they'll be able to install them for you." The staff member also referenced a Catholic charity that provides smoke detectors as part of the effort.

The announcement is intended to encourage residents and business owners to check and, if needed, obtain working smoke detectors. Attendees were told to contact the fire department to arrange installation; no phone number, cost, or eligibility details were specified in the meeting record.

Questions about the program’s eligibility rules, whether detectors are provided at no cost, and which Catholic charity is partnering with the department were not answered during the remarks. The meeting record did not include a formal motion or vote on the matter.
