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.

Crews were met with heavy fire showing from a one story repair shop on arrival and deployed a deck gun and master stream. 20 minutes into the fire, the alarm was upgraded to a Box alarm. Due to limited supply from the hydrants, a tender box alarm was requested, bringing tenders from Pleasantview, Lemont, Plainfield, Homer, and York Center. Pleasantview’s hazmat was also requested to the scene to help control runoff from going into the sewer.
