Crash with entrapment in Blackberry Township, IL – 9/14/17

From Dave Weaver, radioman911.com

9/14/17 BLACKBERRY TWP – Elburn FPD Vehicle Crash w/ Entrapment Bliss Rd. and Seavey Rd.
DETAILS: Three people were injured in a three car crash at Bliss Rd. and Seavey Rd. around 7:45 a.m. including a Plano woman and two Batavia High School students. The Kane County Sheriff’s Office says a 17-year-old Batavia girl was driving west on Seavey Rd. when she failed to stop at the stop sign at Bliss Rd. Her vehicle then side-impacted a vehicle traveling northbound on Bliss Rd. A vehicle being driven southbound on Bliss Rd. by an Elburn man was also involved. The two vehicles involved in the initial crash went off the roadway, one striking a utility pole and the other coming to rest against a wooden fence. The woman driving that vehicle required extrication by Elburn FPD in order to free her. There was decreased visibility conditions at the time of the crash due to fog. The pole that was snapped off brought down an AT&T fiber optic cable. Batavia and Sugar Grove fire departments assisted Elburn with transporting the patients, none of which had life-threatening injuries according to the KCSO.

2-Alarm fire in Dekalb, 9-16-17

This from Andy Russell:

I took in a fire Saturday night in Dekalb.  The fire was at 201 N 6th Street.  It’s a 2-story commercial building that had a deli/bakery on the first floor where the fire was located.  There was a lot of smoke and the crews did a great job of getting in and getting it knocked down quickly.  It was upgraded to a 2nd alarm, but only the box alarm companies were used.
