On March 2, 2021, at 6:58 a.m., the Aurora Fire Department received multiple calls from residents reporting smoke coming from a home on the 200 block of West Downer Place. A Box Alarm was immediately dispatched, involving two engine companies, one truck company, two battalion chiefs, and a paramedic unit. As the crews approached, they saw a massive column of smoke and requested a second alarm due to the growing situation.
Upon arrival, firefighters found a three-and-a-half-story wood-frame multi-unit dwelling engulfed in heavy fire and smoke. Initial reports suggested someone might be trapped on an upper floor. Engine crews quickly deployed hose lines to suppress the flames, while the truck company entered the structure to search for victims.
The alarm was upgraded to a third alarm as the fire spread rapidly through the building’s balloon-frame construction. Firefighters encountered intense heat and flames on all levels during their primary search, but no occupants were found. Later, it was confirmed that the house was vacant and up for sale.
The fire took over two and a half hours to fully control. Due to the building’s construction, the fire spread quickly inside walls and ceilings, making it difficult to extinguish. Interior crews had to evacuate twice, forcing a defensive exterior attack. Freezing temperatures and icy conditions around the building also led to a few firefighter slips and falls.
A total of 40 firefighters responded to the call. The building was declared uninhabitable, and the cause of the fire is still under investigation. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported among civilians or firefighters. This incident highlights the challenges firefighters face when responding to fires in older, hard-to-control structures.
