At approximately 4:40 AM on June 27th, the Glen Ellyn Volunteer Fire Department received an urgent call from a homeowner on Dawes Avenue, reporting that their residence was engulfed in flames. The fire department, part of MABAS Division 12, quickly mobilized to address the situation. As the first responders arrived, Stephen Wilcox, who happened to be nearby, began documenting the scene. He provided updates and shared several images, capturing the intensity of the blaze. According to Wilcox’s account, the family had managed to evacuate safely through the lower-level rear double doors after being alerted by their smoke detectors. The Daily Herald later confirmed that the homeowners escaped unharmed, thanks to their quick response to the alarms. Craig Eldridge, a spokesperson for the Glen Ellyn Volunteer Fire Company, praised their swift action. Upon arriving at the scene, firefighters found the front door completely engulfed in flames. From the street, the house appeared to have two floors, but the rear told a different story. As the situation unfolded, it became evident that the fire had already consumed much of the basement and first floor at the back of the house. Stephen added further details, noting the critical importance of conducting a thorough 360-degree assessment of any fire scene. In this case, the point of origin was traced to an area near the steps and double doors where a cooking pit had been used previously. Three propane tanks in that vicinity had exploded, significantly fueling the fire's rapid spread. The family had reportedly escaped through those same double doors. Firefighters initially deployed two-and-a-half-inch hand lines to combat the flames before bringing in a tower ladder to target the roof and attic areas. Despite the challenges posed by a limited water supply—due to four-inch mains in the area—the firefighters worked diligently to manage the situation. The tower’s strategic placement allowed it to effectively reach the upper sections of the home. By the time dawn broke, the fire was largely under control, though significant damage remained. Photos captured by Stephen showed extensive destruction both inside and outside the structure. The first floor and basement had been largely subdued, but remnants of the blaze could still be seen burning through the roof and attic. As sunlight illuminated the area, the full scope of the devastation became apparent. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of fires and the critical role of prompt evacuation and professional firefighting efforts in minimizing risks to life and property.
