Crews arrived with heavy fire thru the roof from a gas fed fire. The alarm was upgraded to a box, then again to a 2nd alarm. Westmont and Lisle-Woodridge towers were set up and numerous hand lines used to contain the fire.

They were informed that a person, last known to be in the garage, was unaccounted for. Firefighters attacked the fire and made entry to conduct a search. They encountered heavy fire and high heat, and were able to knock down the bulk of the fire within about 30 minutes. The missing person did not survive the fire.
