Fatal fire in Elmhurst
Jul 15
Excerpts from the DailyHerald.com:
At about 9:30 p.m., on Friday, DuPage County sheriff’s deputies and the Elmhurst Fire Department responded to a house fire on Willow Road. Firefighters removed one woman and two males from the home. They were dead.
The investigation is ongoing and the identity of the deceased is being withheld until the cause and manner of their deaths are determined.
Excerpts from mysuburbanlife.com:
Joseph D. Schenk, 31, of the 1500 block of Jill Court, was charged with aggravated battery, possession of a controlled substance and obstructing a peace officer, and Mayrel J. Gamez, 25, of the 1500 block of Jill Court, was charged with obstructing a peace officer and criminal trespass to motor vehicle following the incident that reportedly occurred about 6:21 p.m. July 31 at Lake Street and Church Road in Elmhurst.
Elmhurst Deputy Police Chief Mike McLean said the two reportedly stopped the vehicle they were in while they were in traffic on Lake Street, and Elmhurst Fire Department personnel pulled up behind them in a department vehicle. The personnel inquired as to the welfare of Schenk and Gamez, anticipating their vehicle had broken down.
McLean said Schenk and Gamez were acting erratically, and Gamez allegedly opened the door of the fire department vehicle. A firefighter reportedly asked the woman to exit the vehicle, and Gamez allegedly refused to do so. The firefighter then reportedly pulled her out of the vehicle. Schenk then allegedly shoved the firefighter, and Elmhurst police responded to the scene and took Schenk and Gamez into custody. The pair were then transported to the hospital for treatment.
Gamez was charged with obstruction of justice because she allegedly did not comply with police officers’ orders during the arrest. The firefighter did not sustain injuries.

This from Tim Right:
This was taken from their Facebook page. This was to replace squad one so I assume they’re running a new engine one as a squad?

Elmhurst Hospital has awarded its 2017 Emergency Medical Services Run of the Year award to members of the Elmhurst Fire Department.
Paramedics Danielle Fernandez and Sarah Hand and firefighters Patrick Evoy, Gary Klecka, Tim Lisowski, and Lt. Jeff Hayes were recognized for their care of an 80-year-old man who fell while at church and was unresponsive in May.
When the crew arrived, bystanders were performing CPR, which Hand continued. Fernandez delivered a shock from an AED after which the patient was breathing and had a pulse. The paramedics provided additional treatment in the ambulance while on the way to Elmhurst Hospital Emergency Department. The patient was admitted to Elmhurst Hospital and released a few days later.
