πŸš’ Incident Report: Residential Structure Fire πŸš’

On December 8, 2025, at approximately 4:39 PM, North Park Fire was dispatched to a reported residential structure fire. Upon arrival, our crews found heavy smoke from the front door. Thanks to an aggressive attack, we managed to contain the fire to the kitchen, with smoke damage affecting the rest of the residence.

We are relieved to report that all occupants safely evacuated and were evaluated at a local hospital, where they were later released. Unfortunately, we mourn the loss of the family cat who did not make it out.

A heartfelt thank you to our neighboring departments: Loves Park Fire Department, Harlem-Roscoe Fire Protection District, Rockton Fire Protection District, and Cherry Valley Fire Department for their invaluable assistance on the scene, as well as Northwest Rescue for providing ambulance support. We also appreciate Northwest Fire for handling other calls in the district while our crews were committed.

As we enter this holiday season, we want to remind everyone to ensure they have working smoke detectors on every level of their homes. If you have a fire hydrant in your yard, please help your local fire departments by clearing snow around it.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Wishing everyone a safe and healthy holiday season!

Why are there so many accidents by this intersection when it is a four-way stop and has indications of that a quarter of a mile before the stop sign I come home at night and there’s at least one accident on a month there
