NAPERVILLE, Ill. ~ On Wednesday, Sept. 6, Naperville's Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) received a call at 4:34 a.m. from a resident whose home had been struck by lightning and was believed to be on fire. In response, Naperville 911 dispatched 10 pieces of fire apparatus and 24 personnel, including an incident commander and incident safety officer, to the reported address. The two residents who were home at the time were able to evacuate safely before the fire department's arrival.
Upon arriving at the scene at 4:40 a.m., firefighters found that a tree had fallen and sheared off a power line which was arcing against the aluminum siding of the single-family home, causing multiple small fires in its walls. Fire companies ensured all residents were out of the home before stretching hose lines to contain the fire, but suppression efforts were delayed until the power line could be de-energized at the pole which occurred at 5:57 a.m., after which it was deemed under control. Fire companies remained on scene for another 30 minutes to ensure all hot spots were extinguished.

The cause of the fire was determined to be storm-related with no injuries reported among occupants or firefighters operating on scene. The building was deemed habitable by Naperville Transportation, Engineering, and Development Team with an estimated $20,000 in damages caused by the blaze.
