This from Jeff Braun, Jr:
The Lyons Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire at 8155 W. Ogden Ave. at approximately 1830 hours on August 4th, 2016. The first unit on scene (Engine 1312) reported they had
a fully-involved apartment unit fire on the second floora fire on the second floor balcony which was knocked before it reached the structure. The fire was quickly knocked, as Riverside Truck Co. 1629 was positioned on the Bravo side of the building, with Lyons 1312 positioned in front of them. I arrived on scene as overhaul was being conducted. Other units that were on scene were: Lyons Rescue Engine 1316, Engine 1311, and Medic 1314, Riverside Chief 1618, McCook and Brookfield both had engines on the scene, but they were returned upon arrival. Thanks. -Jeff Braun Jr. (COUNTY-WIDE FIRE PHOTOGRAPHY) “

Jeff, they never reported a “fully involved apartment.” All the fire consisted of was fire on the 2nd and 3rd floor balconies without any extension into the building. The first in engine deck gunned the fire and brought it under control. They stretched a line interior also to the 2nd floor and had companies check for any extension.

My apologies Josh, I must have misheard. Was not in the area when it came thru, thanks for the correction.
