Here’s some shots of the house fire in Volo (IL) last night (7-4-15). It went to the box alarm. It started with the attached garage on fire, then extended to the house and caused an exposure to two other houses. This happened at 522 Niagara Drive (main house) and then to 534 Niagara Drive which was damaged by the fire as well. Fire was put out in about 30 minutes or so.
