Grain Bin Fire in Beecher, 8-11-20

<

This report comes from Mike Lopina:

On Tuesday, August 11th, Beecher Fire Protection District (FPD) and auto aid companies responded to a reported grain bin fire at the 900 block of E Delite Inn Road, near Cottage Grove Avenue. Upon arrival, Deputy Chief 45 found no visible flames, but quickly identified a smoldering fire in the center of one of the bins. Truck 44 was dispatched with an 1.75-inch attack line to tackle the fire, while Tender 44 provided initial water supply and was later supported by Grant Park Engine 110 and a Crete Township tender.

Beecher FPD received assistance from several neighboring departments, including engines from Grant Park, Monee, and Peotone, as well as tenders from Manteno and Crete Township. Chiefs from Peotone and Crete Township also arrived on scene to help coordinate the response. Auto aid companies were released quickly once the situation was under control, but Beecher crews remained to ensure the fire was fully extinguished.

The operation involved multiple aerial ladder trucks stretching toward the burning grain bin, with firefighters working closely with support units to contain the fire. Several photos taken by Mike Lopina capture the intensity of the scene, showing the aerial ladders in action and the fire tender supplying water to the engine on the front lines.
