This from Daniel Hynd:
The Darien-Woodridge FPD responded to a house fire in the 7900 Blk of Fairmount Ave in unincorporated Downers Grove last night. Crews arrived on scene with heavy fire through the roof of a 1-story, single family ranch reported to be under construction. Companies were defensive for most of the operation and fire was under control around 30 minutes after arrival.

The first half of my career at DWFD there were no hydrants in that entire area around Bruce Lake. Then they finally put hydrants in. It made a world of difference. No more tanker (sorry “tender”) operations with port-a-tanks and no more 1500+ LDH hose lays out to Plainfield road.

Are Lisle Woodridge and Darien Woodridge still operating as a combined department, sharing personnel across departments?
