TWO FIREFIGHTERS INJURED IN FIRE INVOLVING THREE-HOUSES – ILLINOIS

From the Spring Valley Fire Dept. Facebook Page:

Would like to thank every fire department and ambulance service that helped us yesterday. Original call came that 3 houses on fire with possible entrapment. Thank god everyone was able to escape. Many other agencies assisted us from traffic control and getting the resources needed. SVFD Chief arrived within 5 minutes of being paged and first engine arrived a minute later. One house was fully involved when first 911 call was made. 2 firefighters were transported to the hospital with one firefighter receiving burns and other with heat exhaustion. Both treated and released. Reminder call 911 right away when you see something bad happening or if you see something that don’t look right. You can video tape after you make the call. Thank you. SVFD Chief Bogatitus.
