Downers Grove 2-11 on 7/16/11
Stephen Wilcox has shared a new set of images and detailed commentary from another intense fire incident in Dupage County, this time at 5130 Meadow Lane in Downers Grove.
The fire was first reported at 4:32 PM on July 16, 2011. A jogger passing by noticed flames coming from the front door of a single-family home located in an exclusive neighborhood. She immediately called 9-1-1. The area is heavily wooded with creeks, steep ravines, narrow roads, and limited visibility of fire hydrants from the road. This house was a three-story structure, measuring approximately 75 feet by 125 feet, constructed with ordinary materials and not protected by any fire suppression systems.
Here are some of the photos taken by Stephen Wilcox during his visit to the scene:
