Box Alarm fire in Sycamore, 9-5-20

This message comes from Art Zern:

Sycamore Fire Department was called to a General Alarm just before midnight on Saturday, September 5, 2020, for a structure fire. Engine 1 and Chief 3 arrived to find a two-story duplex engulfed in heavy fire on the C and D sides, with flames spreading across both floors and into the attic. E-1 quickly deployed a 2½-inch 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 to help secure water supply and extend a second line to the second floor for full extinguishment and to pull walls and ceilings. Fortunately, all occupants had already evacuated before crews arrived.

Due to the lack of available General Alarm units, C-3 took charge of containing the fire. The efforts of E-1 and E-2 were commendable. DeKalb T-1 handled roof operations, while other units conducted extensive overhaul, checked the adjacent unit for any signs of fire extension, and performed RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) duties. A big thank you to our mutual aid partners for their support and quick response.

Another structure fire in just 8 days—this time, Gold Shift crews did an excellent job containing the blaze!

This is the official press release from the early Sunday morning incident:

On Saturday, September 5, 2020, at approximately 11:58 PM, the Sycamore Fire Department received a call for a reported structure fire at 660 Hill Street. Upon arrival, initial companies found heavy fire coming from the rear deck area of a residential building, which had extended vertically into the attic. Crews first attacked the fire from the exterior using a large 2½-inch hand line. Once the fire was knocked down, they launched an aggressive interior attack with 1¾-inch lines and began a primary search for any occupants. The fire was quickly brought under control within about 30 minutes. Fire crews remained on the scene for an additional hour and a half to perform overhaul and check for any signs of fire spread.

The Sycamore Fire Department was assisted by several neighboring departments including DeKalb, Genoa-Kingston, Elburn, Malta, Kirkland, Somonauk, Maple Park, and Burlington. Additional support came from the Sycamore Police Department, ComEd, and NICOR.

No injuries were reported among residents or firefighters. The roof structure suffered severe damage from heat and flames. The second floor was heavily damaged by heat, smoke, and water. The first floor and basement also sustained smoke and water damage. The estimated loss from the fire is around $150,000. The building is now uninhabitable, and all residents have been relocated.

The cause of the fire is currently undetermined and is still under investigation.
