House fire in Orland Park, 11-7-22
The Orland Fire District was called to a fire on the 9800 block of Avenida Del Este at 10:41 PM on Monday evening. Multiple 911 calls were received about an unknown fire in the area, and it's believed the flames started in a shed next to a tri-level home.
Battalion 6 arrived first and found heavy smoke and fire coming from the shed, which was located adjacent to the house. The fire had already spread into the second-floor attic. Firefighters quickly launched a coordinated attack using two pre-connected hose lines on both the front and back of the property. Thanks to their rapid response, the fire was brought under control before it could spread further.
The homeowner met the firefighters in the driveway and confirmed that everyone had safely evacuated. He said he was alerted by an unknown person who saw the flames and kept knocking on the door until he answered. A full still alarm was dispatched to bring in more personnel and equipment, including backup from other stations.
Fire crews from the Orland Fire District worked together on fire suppression, search and rescue, and overhaul operations. Orland Park police also helped by alerting neighbors in nearby homes and assisting with their evacuation. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and the Orland Fire District is working with MABAS 19 investigators and their own Origin and Cause Team.
Additional support came from fire departments in Palos, Tinley Park, Homer, Lemont, North Palos, and neighboring areas. Several companies from other districts also responded to help manage the situation.
