2-Alarm fire in Sycamore, 7-27-19 (more)

This is from Eric Haak:

The Sycamore, Illinois Fire Department was dispatched at 5:40 PM on Saturday, July 27th, to a balcony fire at the St. Albans Greens Apartment Complex. Initial photos taken by residents showed a small fire burning in the corner of a second-floor balcony on the "C" side of the U-shaped building. When the incident commander arrived, heavy smoke was already coming from the rear, and the fire had spread into the attic. The situation was immediately contained upon arrival. An aggressive interior attack was launched, but shortly after 6:00 PM, the crews transitioned to a defensive strategy. The main structure measured 250 feet by 60 feet, with 150-foot by 60-foot wings extending on either side. The nearest fire hydrant was located 400 feet away. I arrived over an hour and a half after the initial call. All of the following details are based on my personal observations and should not be considered as an official report.

As the fire continued to burn, emergency crews worked tirelessly under challenging conditions. The distance to the nearest hydrant posed a significant challenge, requiring multiple water supply operations. Residents were evacuated, and nearby streets were closed off for safety. Despite the difficulties, the firefighters managed to prevent the fire from spreading further. It's clear that quick response and coordination played a key role in containing the situation. These photos offer a glimpse into the intensity of the event and the dedication of those on the front lines.
