Excerpts from OakPark.com: photos

Black smoke and heavy flames from a 22-unit apartment building fire near Percy Julian Middle School raged into early Wednesday morning, but no injuries are reported.

The Oak Park Fire Department was called out to the four-alarm fire in the 200 block of Washington Street at about 9:30 p.m. and faced heavy flames from the rear of the building, Deputy Fire Chief Peter Pilafas said.

“When they did arrive it was flames from the ground to the roof,” Pilafas said.

Pilafas said that at about midnight the fire was contained to the building of origin and that no residents were reported injured or missing. The Red Cross was on the scene aiding displaced residents. Pilafas said the building, just east of the corner of Washington and Cuyler, was “a complete loss.”

One firefighter sustained minor injuries and was transported to Loyola Medical Center for treatment.

Fire departments from eleven surrounding communities aided in fighting the fire, Pilafas said.

One residential building to the east of the apartment building suffered some damage due to radiant heat from the blaze, Pilafas said, but no other buildings appear to have been affected.

Batavia companies were called for a fire at 106 S. Mallory, the Metal Cast Company. They found fire in a two-story, 75×100, commercial business on the corner of Mallory and 1st, two small neighborhood streets. The attack went defensive early on and a Box Alarm was requested followed by a 2nd Alarm. Issues with the water pressure hampered putting multiple elevated master streams into operation.

John Tulipano and Brad Bartley were at the scene.

Landmark building burns in Lyons, 11-22-13

Nov 22

Posted by Admin in Fire, Fire Scene photos | Comments off

From The Chicago Tribune:

A vacant Chamber of Commerce building that had stood as a landmark in west suburban Lyons was heavily damaged by fire overnight, officials said.

The fire broke out around 2:30 a.m. in the two-story building at 3901 Joliet Ave., officials said. It was extinguished by 6 a.m.

Fire Chief Gordon Nord told reporters that flames were shooting from first-floor windows when firefighters arrived. “It certainly overpowered us. We pulled everyone out, and went to a defensive attack,” Nord said.

The chief said the building will have to be torn down.

From CBS Chicago:

No one was hurt in a hard-fought fire overnight in Lyons, but it appears the blaze did destroy one of the town’s landmarks.

The vacant Lyons Chamber of Commerce building at 3901 Joliet Av. caught fire around 2:30 a.m. The building is a two-story ivory-colored structure built in the 1900s, featuring ornate doorways and castle-like towers.

Though it has stood empty for years, it’s considered a town landmark. Though it still had power, gas service had been disconnected “for some time,” according to Fire Chief Gordon Nord.

It took firefighters nearly four hours to put out the blaze.

“We had heavy fire showing out the first floor windows. We had a lot of heavy fire in the tin ceiling on the first floor; gave us a lot of problem with a lot of voids. It certainly overpowered us. We pulled everyone out, and went to a defensive attack,” Nord said.

The top of one of the turret-like structures on the corners of the building collapsed during the fire.

As of early Friday, the cause of the fire was still under investigation.

However, the damage was so severe, the building must come down.

No injuries were reported.
