Roberts Park Box Alarm in Hickory Hills 5-12-13 (pt 3)

More on the Camelot Banquet Hall fire in Hickory Hills from the Chicago Sun-Times:

A Hickory Hills police officer is being hailed as a hero for rescuing the owners of a popular banquet hall after a fire erupted there about 4:30 a.m. Sunday, said Walter Sherman, battalion chief for the Roberts Park Fire Protection District in Justice.

Sherman said Officer Ryan Bajt knew that the facility’s two owners frequently slept at the hall. When he arrived on the scene, he immediately began banging on the door to the office and was able to wake the owners and get them out.

Wladek from Zespol Tornado took pictures of the inside of Camelot. I was allowed to share these photos.

Roberts Park Box Alarm in Hickory Hills 5-12-13

More images from the fire scene in Hickory Hills from the banquet hall fire.

This from Martin Nowak:

Here are some photos I’ve taken after the fire in Hickory Hills at the Camelot Banquets. It is a sad loss for the family, the building was remodeled not too long ago. As I was taking pictures, family of the owners were arriving to look at the damage. At this moment they were also boarding up the windows. There is heavy damage to the center of the building, including a large hole. If I remember clearly from the last time I’ve been there, that may be the kitchen or near the kitchen (My memory isnt that clear since its been at least 5 or more years) They had very good Polish food, I hope the family rebuilds soon. Thanks to my friend Caroline Juchas for her photo.
