Naperville, Ill. ~ Naperville, Ill. - In the early hours of Tuesday, July 2, a residential structure fire was reported on the 2700 block of Willow Ridge Dr. The Naperville Emergency Communications Center (ECC) received the call at 3:50 a.m. and immediately dispatched a general alarm assignment.
According to the ECC, a general alarm assignment includes three engines, two ladder trucks, one heavy rescue squad, two medic units, and two battalion commanders. The first arriving companies reached the scene at 3:57 a.m. and reported heavy fire coming from the rear of the home and up through the attic.
Upon arrival, the initial companies conducted a thorough survey of the structure and provided an on-scene report. They also established command and began fire operations. Fortunately, all four individuals who were home at the time of the incident - one male, one female, and two children - were able to safely exit before the fire department arrived.
Due to the intense flames throughout the home and to prevent further spread to nearby structures, fire companies utilized defensive operations with multiple handlines and elevated master streams. As a precautionary measure, the alarm was upgraded to box alarm level which brought additional firefighters to assist at the scene.
