Excerpts from the Heraldnews.com:
Joliet Deputy Fire Chief Ray Randich said firefighters were called about 11 a.m. to 311 N. Hickory St. on Tuesday for a house fire. The two-story home was unoccupied and no one was injured by the blaze.
“It was a box alarm fire. With the strong winds, we had some concern the whole house would go up quickly,” Randich said.
The fire was considered under control by 2:30 p.m., according to Joliet Battalion Chief Ron Schroeder.
