The image above shows the scene of a fire that broke out earlier yesterday afternoon near Reston Ponds in Sycamore. The mulch fire quickly escalated, engulfing not only the front porch but also spreading to the first floor, attic, and second floor of the home. Thankfully, the firefighters from Sycamore Fire Department (SFD) Engine 1 managed to control the situation effectively despite the challenging circumstances. It's worth noting that this wasn’t their only call that day—earlier in the afternoon, they were already dealing with a fire at an old barn on Glidden Road. For more details on that incident, you can check out the link provided.
This is what Art Zern had to say about the mulch fire:
> "Here’s a pre-arrival picture of the ‘mulch’ fire we had yesterday around 3 PM. When we arrived, the fire was raging on three sides of the property. Engine 1 made a swift and effective intervention, but the flames had already reached the first floor, attic, and second floor. If you want to read about our first fire of the day—a barn fire on Glidden Road—you can find more information through the link."
Meanwhile, over on the Dekane Scanner Incidents page on Facebook, there’s an update regarding the same fire:
> "Update on yesterday’s house fire in Sycamore. The initial call came in around 3 PM reporting a brush fire on the 400 block of Mary Ann Circle in Reston Ponds. By 3:15 PM, Syc Brush-1 confirmed that the front porch was fully engulfed in flames. The alarm was escalated to a General Box Alarm 10-1. Additionally, Cortland Fire was dispatched along with an ambulance to assist a resident who suffered burns to their hand. Fortunately, the fire was contained within 40 minutes, and all occupants escaped safely, though one person sustained minor hand injuries. Mutual aid support was provided by multiple departments including DeKalb, Cortland, Genoa-Kingston Fire & Rescue, Hampshire, Elburn, and Burlington."
According to excerpts from the Daily Chronicle, multiple fire departments responded to the blaze at 401 Mary Ann Circle around 3:30 PM. The mulch fire not only damaged the affected house but also spread to the neighboring property at 409 Mary Ann Circle, rendering both structures uninhabitable. Although firefighters were able to bring the fire under control relatively quickly, high winds reaching up to 30 mph in DeKalb County posed additional challenges and increased concerns about potential spread.
Fortunately, the homeowner only sustained minor burns to their hand, which did not require hospitalization. No other injuries were reported. Mulch, while beneficial for retaining moisture and preventing weeds, can become highly flammable under extreme heat, dryness, and wind conditions. Departments such as Cortland, DeKalb, Genoa-Kingston, and Hampshire were among those who lent their support during this incident.
It's always important to be cautious with open flames and outdoor materials like mulch, especially during periods of intense weather. Stay safe everyone!
