Stephen Wilcox has submitted images and commentary from yet another extra-alarm fire from Dupage County, this time at 5130 Meadow Lane in Downers Grove.
DG fire was notified at 1632 hours on 7/16/11. This single family home in an exclusive area was discovered by a jogger passing by. She noticed the front door belching fire and called 9-1-1. Understand that this area is heavily forested with creeks and steep ravines, narrow roads and few hydrants that are visible from the road. This house was three stories (equiv) 75′ X 125′ ordinary, not protected.

Steve, do you post your pictures on some type of website like Olk, Nord, and Redick. If not you should and let us all know, you take some good pictures and usually at fires where no one else is there taking them.
