WARRENVILLE, IL (June 12, 2020) – A single fire sprinkler controlled a fire in a construction building on the 30W200 block of Butterfield Road around 10:30 p.m. on Friday.
Fire crews from the Warrenville Fire Protection District arrived at the scene six minutes after the alarm and called in extra forces from West Chicago Fire Protection District, Wheaton Fire Department, Winfield Fire Protection District and Warrenville Police Department. Once the structure fire response team assembled, crews brought a hose inside to extinguish the fire.
According to Assistant Chief Andy Dina, Warrenville Fire Protection District, an automatic fire sprinkler kept the blaze in check until firefighters arrived. Crews put out the fire quickly, then ventilated the building and checked to ensure the flames did not spread to adjoining units.
Damage was held to common combustibles in the area where the fire originated.
There were no injuries and the cause of the fire was determined to be accidental.
