Stephen Wilcox has shared a detailed account of another fire that took place in western Dupage County (MABAS Division 12) last month. Here's what he reported:
Wheaton Fire: 419 N. Ellis on June 17, 2011 at 04:47. The two-story home, built around 1900, was a balloon-frame structure with lath and plaster walls and knob-and-tube wiring. When crews arrived, the weather was warm and humid. The fire had spread across all floors and into the attic. Neighbors believed someone might still be inside, prompting an extra alarm response. Several handlines and six ground ladders were deployed. The family had just returned from the Far East.
