2-Alarm fire in Elmhurst, 1-26-17 (part 5)

This from josh Boyajian:

I went to the fire Thursday afternoon in Elmhurst. Fire was in a 1-sty commercial building that housed a bridal shop. Companies had heavy fire on arrival and shortly after requested a box alarm. There were several elevated master streams working from both Elmhurst tower ladders, Bensenville’s tower, and Addison’s quint. I arrived about 1 hour into the fire. Here are several pictures i took. The entire gallery is on our website.
Enjoy,
Josh

Manteno Fire Chief Scott O’Brien said the couple called 911 about 3:22 p.m. while at the same time, an Aqua Illinois employee, who was in the area, stopped to alert them that the fire had spread throughout the attic and a garden shed.

The kitchen, living room, family room, and shed were all damaged.

Manteno was assisted by Bourbonnais, Bradley, Peotone, and Grant Park fire departments.
