House fire in Bolingbrook, 1-4-24

This from Daniel Hynd:

The Bolingbrook Fire Department worked a house fire in the 800 block of Bell Flower Ln on the evening of 1-4-24.
 
Crews arrived just before midnight and had heavy smoke showing and found heavy fire in the basement. The fire created holes in the floor of the 1st floor, which complicated access. One victim was located on the 2nd floor and removed via a hole created in the bravo side wall.

Bolingbrook house fire – 12/6/14

This from Dieterich Herndobler:

I followed Station 4 into a fire in Station 5’s area last night (12/6/14) in the 1500 block of Schumaker Drive. If it wasn’t for a series of unfortunate events, I would have been a few minutes earlier when there was still heavy fire showing. Engine 5 arrived and reported a 2-story home with heavy fire from the garage and they would be going into quick attack. For being as cold as it was, I was surprised by the amount of people on the block.

As I parked, flames were seen above the house from around the corner. As I was walking up, Quint 4 was putting the stick up. There was an exposure issue to the north, the siding melted off and the wall charred, looked like it was a good stop and real close to being two houses going. Looked like 3 lines were off, and the hydrant was right in front.

Companies were Engine 5, Engine 2, Quint 4, Truck 1, Engine 3 (arrived late), Medics 2, 3, 4, Battalion 1 all from Bolingbrook, plus Lisle Battalion 51, a Plainfield medic and Naperville Engine 2.
Truck 1 is the new Dash CF 105′ rearmount that has been in service since the summer.
