The Westchester Fire Department is proud to participate in the Be Alarmed Program. “Be Alarmed!" is a fire safety education and smoke alarm installation program administered cooperatively between the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance and the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal.
The program distributes fire safety education materials and 10-year sealed battery smoke alarms to fire departments in the state of Illinois. Westchester firefighters then deliver the education while installing smoke alarms in at-risk homes within Westchester. Both the educational materials and smoke alarms are provided at no cost as a result of funding from both the IFSA and OSFM. If you are a Westchester resident in need of having smoke alarms installed in your home, please call us at 708-345-0433 or
