From the Lockport Township Fire Protection District Facebook page:

Box alarm fire last night in District 4. Companies on scene had to wait outside for ComEd to arrive and kill the power due to an electrical hazard. Multiple void spaces made finding an extinguishing the fire very difficult. Luckily no one was injured and thank you to everyone that responded from other communities. @ Lockport, Illinois
