Joliet house fire 6-28-11

Jim Skrabel witnessed a fire this morning in Joliet at 1701 Sierra Highland Court. Here's his firsthand account of the incident:

A two-story home was engulfed in heavy flames on one side, which caused damage to the neighboring house. Engine 9, the first unit on scene, made a strong attack and had the fire under control by the time I arrived. Two 1 3/4-inch hoselines were deployed from Engine 9, and Truck 9 was ready with the aerial ladder in case they needed to access the roof. Other units on site included Engines 8, 9, and 10, Truck 9, B/C 2, and ambulances 8, 9, and 10.

This fire was a quick response situation, and it’s clear that the crews worked efficiently to contain the blaze before it could cause more harm. The images show both the intensity of the flames and the aftermath of the heat on nearby structures. It’s always a relief to see such coordinated efforts in action.
