This from Dieterich Herndobler:
I followed Station 4 into a fire in Station 5’s area last night (12/6/14) in the 1500 block of Schumaker Drive. If it wasn’t for a series of unfortunate events, I would have been a few minutes earlier when there was still heavy fire showing. Engine 5 arrived and reported a 2-story home with heavy fire from the garage and they would be going into quick attack. For being as cold as it was, I was surprised by the amount of people on the block.
As I parked, flames were seen above the house from around the corner. As I was walking up, Quint 4 was putting the stick up. There was an exposure issue to the north, the siding melted off and the wall charred, looked like it was a good stop and real close to being two houses going. Looked like 3 lines were off, and the hydrant was right in front.Companies were Engine 5, Engine 2, Quint 4, Truck 1, Engine 3 (arrived late), Medics 2, 3, 4, Battalion 1 all from Bolingbrook, plus Lisle Battalion 51, a Plainfield medic and Naperville Engine 2.Truck 1 is the new Dash CF 105′ rearmount that has been in service since the summer.
