Hoffman Estates house fire, 2-5-14
The Chicago Tribune recently published a report on a serious house fire that occurred on Wednesday in Hoffman Estates. According to authorities, no one was injured when a single-family home on the 1000 block of Basswood Street caught fire. Fire Chief Jeff Jorian stated that police arrived at the scene just before 2 p.m. and found the house already fully engulfed in flames.
Three adults were inside the home at the time, including a person with a disability who uses a wheelchair. All of them managed to escape safely, which the chief called a "miracle" given the intensity of the fire. He explained that the blaze likely started in the garage before spreading to the ranch-style house. A neighbor living in an apartment complex nearby had called 911 after seeing the smoke.
The fire rendered the home uninhabitable and caused some exterior damage to a neighboring property to the south. Chief Jorian described the situation as alarming, noting that "there was a lot of smoke pretty quickly," and that the house suffered significant fire damage, along with widespread smoke damage throughout.
Interestingly, Schaumburg firefighters were the first to arrive on the scene due to initial confusion about the exact location of the fire. The resident who made the emergency call lives in an apartment complex in Schaumburg. This is the third fire in the area in recent years, though Jorian insisted it was purely coincidental.
The article includes a photo of the burning house taken by Dan Waters of the Chicago Tribune on February 5, 2014, at 5:16 p.m. The image shows the extent of the damage and highlights the urgency of the response. It's a sobering reminder of how quickly a fire can escalate and the importance of early detection and quick action.
Thanks, Dan.
