Firefighters rescued two people from a blaze in their Orland Park home shortly before noon Wednesday, officials said. The two residents suffered burns and smoke inhalation and were treated at the scene before being taken to Palos Community Hospital for additional treatment, fire district officials said.
When firefighters arrived, the home in the 7600 block of Wheeler Drive was “consumed” by fire, and heavy black smoke streamed from the windows, Orland Fire Protection District officials said in a statement.
Fire Chief Ken Brucki said the two residents were moving under their own power but needed some help from firefighters to escape the fire. Their pet dog was already out of the home when firefighters arrived, he said.
