At 10:58 P.M. on Thursday, February 18th, 2010,
the Lisle Woodridge Fire District was notified by way of 911 call
from a resident reporting a fire inside the attached garage and was
dispatched to 6199 Hinterlong Court Lisle.
A General Alarm was immediately dispatched,
sending four (4) engines, two (2) ladder trucks, two (2) medic
units, and a Command Team to the scene, for a minimum of 25
Lisle-Woodridge Fire District personnel.
The first unit arrived on scene at 11:01 P.M.
and reported a small fire inside of the garage and all occupants
were out of the building.
The arriving engine crew stretched a 2 ½” skid
hose line to the front of the home and quickly extinguished the
small fire. A search of the home was completed and all residents
were safely removed from the hazard. There was no further flame or
smoke damage reported.
The fire was under control approximately 10
minutes after the Fire District’s arrival, however units remained on
the scene until approximately 1 hour 20 minutes performing salvage
duties and overhauling the burned areas of the structure. The
building was determined to be inhabitable.
Lisle-Woodridge Fire District units were
assisted on the scene by the Downers Grove and Naperville Fire
departments. The Lombard and Wheaton Fire Departments provided
coverage at Lisle-Woodridge Fire District stations that were vacated
to fight the fire.
The alarm was struck out at 11:15 P.M. There
were no injuries to any civilian or emergency responders during this
incident.
The Lisle-Woodridge Fire District fire
investigation team is on the scene investigating the cause of the
fire. No further information is available at the time. Additional
information will be disseminated as it becomes available. If you
