NAPERVILLE, Ill. — at 6:41PM on Wed., Sept. 13, 2017, Naperville’s Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) received a 911 call for the report of a fire in a single family home. A general alarm was dispatched for the reported structure fire.

The General Alarm assignment brought 12 pieces of fire apparatus and 27 firefighters to the scene. Occupants of the residence were alerted by the smoke detector and safely exited the structure. The first fire suppression unit arrived on the scene at 6:45PM and reported fire showing from the rear bedroom of the single-family residence.

Fire attack was initiated by the first-arriving engine, medic, and truck companies and a water source was secured. The fire was found to be burning in the back bedroom, which was quickly extinguished. Fire companies on the scene completed an interior search and checked for fire extension in the ceiling and walls of the structure.

An inspector from Naperville’s Transportation Engineering and Development arrived on scene and determined the home uninhabitable. An American Red Cross volunteer arrived on the scene and provided assistance to the occupants of the home. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The Naperville Fire Department was assisted on the scene by the Warrenville Fire Protection District, and the Naperville Police Department. Other agencies to assist on the scene were Naperville Emergency Management Agency, Transportation and Engineering Division and Naperville Electric Department and NICOR. The Downers
Grove Fire Department and the Winfield Fire Protection District provided coverage for Naperville fire stations
during this incident. There were no injuries to firefighters or civilians.
