years of service to the community, the District has grown
by expanding programs and services. The District protects
the communities of Palos Hills, Worth, a portion of Hickory
Hills and a large area of the Cook County Forest Preserve;
totaling a 15.5 square mile area and a population approaching

Fire
Safety Tips
Babysitters should know the family's
name, address of the home and how to contact the parents.
Babysitters
should have the numbers for the Police & Fire departments
and at least one number of a nearby neighbor that the
family trusts.
Never
leave a child unattended in a bathtub. Always test the
water temperature before putting young children in the
water.
Never
set the water temperature on a water heater any higher
than 120 degrees.
If
the babysitter is unsure about something going on in or
around the house,
call 911.
