House fire in Orland Park, 8-7-24

Posted by Admin in Fire Department News, Fire Scene photos | No Comments

Excerpts from patch.com:

The Orland Fire Protection District received multiple reports of a garage fire in the 8900 block of Oakdale Court Wednesday just before 5 p.m. On arrival, firefighters found heavy fire coming from the garage of a single-family home, with flames spreading into the second floor bedroom and attic.

Firefighters made a blitz attack to bring the blaze under control and extinguished a fence on fire between the garage and a neighboring house.

The residents escaped through a rear door.

A full still alarm was called for additional personnel and equipment at the scene and to backfill Orland stations. One firefighter was transported for heat exhaustion and treated at a local hospital before being released.

The home is currently uninhabitable and the fire is under investigation by the Orland Fire District Origin and Cause Team.

Other departments providing station coverage and manpower were Palos, Tinley Park, Palos Heights, Lemont, North Palos, Homer, and Mokena.

2-Alarm church fire in Downers Grove, 7-29-24

Jul 29

This from Daniel Hynd:

The Downers Grove FD and auto/mutual aid companies worked a 2-alarm church fire at 525 63rd St early this morning, 7-29-24. This originally came in as an AFA, and police officers advised heavy smoke was coming from the building. The alarm was upgraded to a structure fire, then to a box, and then again to a 2nd alarm. Westmont and Lisle-Woodridge towers were set up and numerous hand lines used to contain the fire, which was believed to be gas fed.
