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.

Excerpts from the Nunda Rural Fire Protection District on Facebook:

On Friday, March 29, at 3:20PM, the Nunda Rural Fire Protection District responded to the 3700 block of Riverside Drive for a reported residential structure fire. Firefighters arrived on scene within minutes and observed heavy smoke showing from the rear of a two-story residence. An initial defensive attack from the exterior was established utilizing several hose lines and truck operations. A request for additional resources was made through the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (M.A.B.A.S). Crews worked aggressively and brought the fire under control at 4:14PM. Firefighters remained on scene for an additional two hours to monitor and overhaul extensive smoldering contents inside the home.

One occupant was home when the fire occurred and safely evacuated. One cat was located deceased, and a second cat remains unaccounted. Preliminary investigations indicate the fire started on the second floor of the home, but the exact cause remains under investigation.

The two-story home sustained heavy damage throughout and is uninhabitable. The two occupants of the home are receiving housing and various aid assistance from the American Red Cross.

In total, 17 neighboring agencies responded to the fire scene or to cover Nunda’s fire station during the incident. The Nunda Rural Fire Protection District extends gratitude to the numerous agencies and our dispatchers who assisted with the incident.

The order is for a Ferrara Igniter^® XD XMFD cab with an 8? raised roof, and will feature:

450-hp Cummins^® L9 engine

1500 gallon per minute Hale^® QMAX pumper

Short 29? overall length

Recessed handrails on cab

Ladders on right side

Aluminum hose bed cover

175? wheelbase

500-gallon water tank

F-Shield coated frame rails

Frame rail style front bumper

Ferrara heavy-duty cab construction

Ferrara extruded aluminum heavy-duty body

Ferrara point-to-point 12V DC electrical system

Whelen^® warning lights

The Ferrara Igniter XD will be ideally suited for navigating the congested streets of Salem and serve the city’s continuing needs.

Inverness house fire 3-27-13

Mar 27

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire, Fire Service Photos, Fire Truck photos | Comments off

The Palatine Rural FPD received a report from a citizen that had observed smoke coming from a house at 124 Poteet in Inverness, two blocks from the fire station. Engine 36 requested a fire response and then upgraded it to a working fire (Code 4) minutes later upon arrival at the scene. Companies from Hoffman Estates, Rolling Meadows, Barrington, East Dundee, West Dundee, Palatine, Long Grove, Buffalo Grove, and Prospect Heights were called to assist.

Companies had smoke from a first floor kitchen window, and the occupants were not at home. Firefighters encountered conditions inside the house consistent with a collier’s mansion, and were able to contain and extinguish the fire within 20 minutes.

Larry Shapiro went to the scene and arrived after the fire was knocked down. Here are several images from the scene.
