This report comes from Art Zern:
Sycamore Fire Department responded to a General Alarm call just before midnight on Saturday, September 5, 2020, for a structure fire. Engine 1 and Chief 3 were the first to arrive at a two-story duplex where heavy flames were visible on the C and D sides, spreading across both floors and into the attic. E-1 quickly deployed a 2 ½-inch hose line to the C/D corner, effectively knocking down the main fire that had started on the deck and spread through the vinyl siding. E-2 arrived shortly after and helped secure a water source, while also extending a second line to the second floor for full extinguishment and to remove walls and ceilings for better access.
All residents had safely evacuated before the fire department arrived. C-3 was assigned to contain the fire since several General Alarm units were either delayed or not available. The crews from E-1 and E-2 did an excellent job in controlling the situation early on. DeKalb T-1 took charge of roof operations, while other units conducted extensive overhaul, checked the adjacent unit for any signs of fire spread, and performed RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) duties. A big thank you goes out to our mutual aid partners who supported the response.

Another structure fire in just 8 days—this time, the Gold Shift crews made a great stop!
This is the official press release from the fire that occurred early Sunday morning:
On Saturday, September 5, 2020, around 11:58 PM, the Sycamore Fire Department was called to 660 Hill Street for a reported structure fire. Upon arrival, initial units found heavy fire coming from the rear deck area of a residential building, which had extended vertically into the attic. Crews initially attacked the fire from the exterior using a large 2 ½-inch handline, and once the fire was under control, they moved inside with 1 ¾-inch lines to conduct a primary search for occupants.
The crews worked quickly to bring the fire under control, managing to do so within about 30 minutes. They remained on the scene for an additional hour and a half to perform overhaul and check for any signs of fire extension.
The Sycamore Fire Department was assisted by the DeKalb, Genoa-Kingston, Elburn, Malta, Kirkland, Somonauk, Maple Park, and Burlington Fire Departments. The Sycamore Police Department, Com-ed, and NICOR also provided support.
No one was injured, neither among the residents nor the firefighters. The roof structure was severely damaged due to heat and flames. The second floor suffered significant damage from heat, smoke, and water. The first floor and basement were also affected by smoke and water. The estimated loss from the fire is approximately $150,000. The building is now uninhabitable, and all residents have been relocated.
The cause of the fire remains undetermined, and further investigation is ongoing.
