frame, and its roof and floor framing
were constructed with engineered
wood. The roof was covered with
asphalt shingles and exterior walls
with vinyl siding. It occupied a groundfloor area of 6,000 square feet (557
square meters).
The building, valued at slightly more
than $1 million, suffered an estimated
$250,000 in damage. Contents losses
were estimated at $25,000.
ILLINOIS
Extensive damage, multiple injuries
in fire at condominium complex
Firefighters were dispatched to a multiunit condominium complex following a
fire alarm activation at 4:40 a.m.
No signs of fire were apparent as the
first engine company reached the complex, a six-story structure consisting of
72 units. As the crew prepared to enter
the building with an ambulance crew,
they detected light smoke from the roof
area and received a report of smoke on
the sixth floor from a resident in the
lobby.
When the next crew reached the
scene, they observed fire from the
windows of a sixth-floor unit at the
rear of the building, and smoke had
become heavier. As they sized up the
fire, the firefighters reported that a
window failed and that the fire began
to self-ventilate, leading to a request for
additional resources, including an additional tower truck and ambulance.
Incident command assigned a tower
truck to the front of the building and
directed a quint truck to set up its
aerial device at the rear. Inside, crews
carrying an attack line reported heavy
smoke on the sixth floor and heavy
fire in one unit. Crews forced doors
to adjacent units while mounting primary search operations as the attack
line was stretched. A male resident
from the unit of origin was located on
a sixth-floor landing and evacuated to
an ambulance crew, which transported
him to the hospital.
Firefighters began attacking the fire
with aerial streams from the front and
rear of the building, while crews inside
attacked the fire on the sixth floor
while continuing rescue operations.
