FIRE RESCUE DEPARTMENT
Fire Prevention Open House
The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department will host their annual
Open House on Saturday, October 10, 2015 from 11:00 a.m. to
2:00 p.m. at Station 1, located in the Municipal Complex at 100
W. Woodstock Street. The theme of this year’s Open House is:
“Hear the BEEP where you SLEEP – Every Bedroom Needs a
Working Smoke Alarm”.
Activities during Open House will include:
•
Demonstrations of firefighting and rescue equipment.
•
Tours of the Fire Station.
•
Safety House.
•
Fire hose drills.
•
Fire extinguisher practice.
•
Rescue demonstrations.
•
Firefighter skills course for children.
•
Displays of fire trucks, ambulances, specialized apparatus
and equipment.
•
Display of the Flight for Life helicopter.
Each year, approximately 3,500 people die and 17,600 are
injured as a result of house fires. The National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) hopes to significantly reduce those numbers
by providing fire prevention safety tips to prevent fires and
injuries. By learning the basic facts about fire and fire prevention,
residents can help prepare themselves and their families against
the dangers fire poses both at home and in the workplace.
Bring your family to the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department
Open House on October 10th to learn how smoke alarms can
save lives and meet the firefighter/paramedics who are here to
protect you!
The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department is committed to
teaching fire safety. Residents will learn about ways to keep their
homes safe by: having working smoke and carbon monoxide
detectors, checking for fire hazards in their homes, and preparing
and practicing evacuation plans with their family.
By participating in the Department’s Safety House, children can
learn how to escape from a smoke-filled house.

Military Service Flags
History of the Flags
The tradition of displaying a Military
Service Flag began during World War I.
The blue Star Flag was designed and
patented by WWI Army Captain Robert
L. Queisser of the 5th Ohio Infantry.
Military families would display the
service flag near their front window. The
flag featured a blue star for each family
member serving in the armed forces.
On May 28, 1918, President Woodrow
Wilson approved a suggestion made by
the Women’s Committee of the Council
of National Defenses that women who
lost a child in military service to the
United States should wear a black arm
band bearing a gold gilt star to honor
their loved one. The tradition of the gold
gilt star quickly transferred from the arm
band to the Military Service Flag. When
a service member died, the blue star on
the family’s Military Service Flag would
be covered with a gold star.
During WWII, the practice of displaying
the Military Service Flag became much
more widespread. Support groups such
as “Blue Star Mothers of America” and
“American Gold Star Mothers” offered
support and comfort to mothers whose
children were serving or were killed while
serving in the military.

City Letter | September 2015
Gold Star Mother’s Day is observed in
the United States on the last Sunday
of September each year. This year the
date will be Sunday, September 27th,
2015. It is a day for people to recognize
and honor those who have lost a son or
daughter while serving the United States
Armed Forces.
Crystal Lake in WWI
A list compiled by the Crystal Lake
Herald in 1919, after the war was over,
shows that 192 men and 2 women from
Crystal Lake served during the Great
War. Of these, seven men lost their
lives. Crystal Lake’s population at that
time was approximately 2,200.
By Diana Kenney
On June 6, 1918, at a battlefield in
France, Lt. William Chandler Peterson
lost his life while leading his platoon
in a morning attack. Lt. Peterson was
awarded the Distinguished Service Cross
for valor. The local American Legion
Post No. 171 was chartered in 1919, and
named in honor of Lt. William Chandler
Peterson. After the war, Lt. Peterson’s
body was brought back from France and
laid to rest at Union Cemetery.
The body of Lt. William Chandler
Peterson lies in state at the high
school gymnasium prior to final burial
in 1921.
The above photo shows William
Chandler Peterson (Marines) and Edwin
Berlin (Army) in uniform standing in
front of the Berlin House at the corner
of Second & Sherman Streets in Crystal
Lake. Both men registered for service
in June, 1917 so we assume this was
some sort of going away photo, and
the (unidentified) man in the middle is
wishing them good luck. Unfortunately,
only one of these servicemen returned
home alive.

Back to School Safety
With school back in session, be mindful of the school speed limit zones. Posted signs inform
motorists of a “school zone ahead”, “entering a school zone”, and when the “school zone has ended.”
Just how dangerous are school zones?
Take Chicago as an example: nearly 1,700 children ages
5-18 were struck by vehicles within a block of a school,
according to a recent analysis by the Chicago Tribune of
school zone safety in the city. That’s an average of about
10 percent of all pedestrians hit by vehicles in Chicago
over a four year time period. Many drivers didn’t stop or
slow down in or near these school zones, even when a
crossing guard is present.
School buses…what do you do?
School buses make frequent stops, picking up and
dropping off students. Once the school bus driver has
activated the red and yellow lights with the electric stop
sign deployed, all drivers/motorists on an undivided
roadway, whether approaching from behind or in front of
the bus, must come to a complete stop prior to meeting or
overtaking the bus. The vehicle is not allowed to proceed
until the bus driver has deactivated the signals or the bus
driver has motioned that it is safe to proceed.
Graduated Driver’s License (GDL)…What is it??
Your child just received their license over the summer
and is eager to start driving to and from school or work.
Take the time to understand and review the Illinois Vehicle
Code regarding the number of passengers allowed under
the Graduating License Program. In short: If your child
receives their license before their 18th birthday, for the first
12 months or until they reach their 18th birthday, whichever
occurs sooner, the graduated license holder may not
operate a motor vehicle with more than one passenger in
the vehicle who is under the age of 20. Some exceptions
include passengers who are siblings, step siblings, children
or step children of the driver.
Teen drivers and car maintenance.
Parents, before handing over the keys to your children
for the first time, remember they are not as experienced
behind the wheel as you are. Do a preventative
maintenance check of your vehicle with your children
if possible. Educate them on proper car maintenance,
including checking the owner’s manual for tire pressure.
It is very important to check on the vehicle’s tire tread
as it reduces the stopping distance when the brakes are
applied. Vibration in the steering wheel when applying the
brakes may be an indication that new brakes and/or rotors
may need to be replaced. Check with a local maintenance
shop for further information.

Electronic communications
Illinois law prohibits the use of a hand held wireless
telephone, hand held portable digital assistant or a
portable or mobile computer while operating a vehicle
on the roadway. Drivers under the age of 19 who hold an
instruction permit or a person under the age of 19 years
who holds a graduated license may not drive a vehicle
on a roadway while using a wireless phone, including any
“hands free” options. However, it does not apply to a
person placing an emergency call to a law enforcement
agency, health care provider, fire department, or other
emergency services agency or entity.
Distracted driving is a deadly behavior. According to
a recent in-car study by AAAfoundation.org, distracted
driving contributes to 16% of all fatal crashes, leading to
approximately 5,000 deaths each year.
Teen drivers were distracted almost a quarter of the time
they were behind the wheel. The average time a driver
is distracted or takes his/her eyes off the road, is five
seconds. A vehicle traveling at 40 mph will have covered
293 feet in 5 seconds. To put it into perspective, that’s
just seven feet shy of the length of a football field.
Many of today’s new vehicles are equipped with safety
features such as, Lane Departure Warning and Forward
Collision Warning, but these features don’t tell you the
traffic light ahead turned from green to yellow to red, or
if you’re approaching a stop sign. Always be alert when
driving and keep your focus on the road, not on your
electronic devices.
Questions about Child Safety Seats?
On, Saturday, September 19, 2015, a “Child Safety Seat
Check” will take place at Pauly Toyota, 1035 S IL Route
31, Crystal Lake, from 9am-12pm. This free event assists
and educates parents and caregivers on how to properly
install their child’s safety seat, which also includes
booster seats.
No appointments are needed for the event.

INFORMATION FOR CITY
HOMEOWNERS & RESIDENTS
Sewer backups unfortunately occur not only in
Crystal Lake but throughout the region. Although
the City strives to prevent such incidents, they still
may occur. The following information is offered to
help property owners and residents understand why
backups happen, how they can be prevented, and
what steps citizens should take if a sewer backup
affects their property.
What causes a sewer backup?
Sanitary sewer overflows can be caused by a
number of factors. They usually involve sewer pipe
blockages in either main sewer lines or service
laterals (lines between buildings and the main line).
Common causes include: broken or collapsed
sewer pipes, tree roots growing into the pipe, or
a blockage from grease or materials flushed into
the sewer lines. Regarding in home and office
plumbing systems, the main cause is accumulation
of grease, tree roots, hair, or solid materials, such
as disposable diapers or sanitary napkins that are
too large for wastewater pipes to handle. Such
materials may cause major backups in City lines
as well as in residents’ lateral lines. Leaves, sticks,
rocks, bricks and trash have been found inside City
manholes. Please report observations of any activity
where a person is interfering with City pipes and
manholes to the Crystal Lake Police Department.
Don’t run any water down your drains or flush toilets
until the blockage has been cleared.
• Close lower level drain openings with stoppers
or plugs. Tub, sink, and floor drains may need
additional weight to keep them sealed. A string
mop can be used to help plug toilet openings.
Keep in mind that ceramic plumbing fixtures
such as toilets are fragile.
• A quick check with nearby neighbors may help
determine if the backup is isolated to your home
or if it is a City sewer issue that may impact your
neighbors.
If I call the City, what will they do about a sewer
backup onto my property?
• City personnel will check for backups in the
City’s main line. If a problem is found in the City
sewer main, the blockage will be cleared as
soon as possible. City personnel will collect and
provide related information to this backup.
• If the main line is not blocked, you will be
advised to call a plumbing/sewer contractor to
check your lateral line. Maintenance and repair
of the lateral line is the owner’s responsibility.
(See diagram below.)
How could a sewer backup affect me?
If the backup occurs in a City maintained line, the
wastewater will overflow from the lowest possible
opening, which can be a street manhole, basement,
or where the lowest level is even with the sewer
lines—the overflowing wastewater may exit through
the home’s lower drains and toilets.
What should I do if sewage backs up into my
home?
As soon as you notice the backup, please call:
815-356-3614. If you call after business hours
(7:30am to 4:30pm), please select the emergency
public works option. A public works employee will
be contacted and go to your location as soon as
possible. In the meantime, take action to protect
people and valuable property:

City of Crystal Lake, Illinois
- Sewer Backup Incidents Q & A •
To minimize damage and negative health effects,
cleanup of the property should be completed as
soon as possible. There are qualified businesses
that specialize in this type of cleanup.
Is there anything I can do to prevent sewage
backup into my home?
• Avoid putting grease down your garbage
disposal or household drain. It can solidify,
collect debris, and build up in your own system
or in City’s main sewer lines.
• Never flush disposable diapers, sanitary napkins
or paper towels down the toilet. They may
damage your plumbing system, and they can
block both private and City sewer pipes.
• If the lateral sewer line in your older home has
a jointed pipe system, consider whether the
roots of large shrubs or trees near the line could
invade and break pipes. It is a good idea to
know the location of your lateral sewer line.
• If the lowest level of your home is below ground
level, such as a basement floor drain, it may
one day be affected by a backup. One way to
prevent sewage backup through such below
ground areas is to install a plumber’s test plug
to close these drains when not in use or install a
“back-flow valve” on the lowest drain.
• For further information about preventive
measures, contact a plumber or plumbing supply
dealer.
What sewer pipes are the homeowner’s
responsibility?
The homeowner is responsible for all sewer pipes
inside of their home and the sewer pipe leaving the
home all of the way and including the connection
point at the City’s main sewer line.
Will insurance cover any damage to my home or
property?
Commonly a special rider will need to be added to
your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy to
cover damages related to sewage backups or water
damage. This optional coverage is usually not very
expensive, but you must usually request that it be
added to your policy. Check with your insurance
agent about this policy provision.
Similar to other municipalities, the City of Crystal
Lake cannot assume financial responsibility for
damages resulting from sewage backups, since
most stoppages are related to conditions that
are beyond the City’s control. That is why it is
important that property owners confirm that they
are adequately insured—particularly if areas of their
home lie below ground level.
What does the City do to prevent this problem?
• Every attempt is made to prevent backups in
the public sewer collection system before they
occur. Sewer lines are specially designed to
prevent accumulation and stoppages.
• In addition, we have maintenance crews that are
devoted to inspecting and cleaning sewer main
lines throughout the City on a regular schedule.
• The City uses a grease control agent at City lift
stations to prevent the buildup of items that may
block the main sewer line.
• Even with our maintenance schedule, backups
are often beyond the City’s control. Most that do
occur are confined to the sewage pipeline, rather
than backing up into a home.
