Excerpts from patch.com:
The Orland Fire Protection District responded to multiple calls about a garage fire in the 8900 block of Oakdale Court on Wednesday just before 5 p.m. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered heavy flames coming from the garage of a single-family home, with the fire spreading into a second-floor bedroom and the attic.
Firefighters launched a rapid attack to contain the blaze, successfully extinguishing a fence that had caught fire between the garage and a neighboring house. The residents managed to escape through the rear door without serious injuries.
A full alarm was activated to bring in additional personnel and equipment, and backup was sent to relieve the Orland Fire Stations. One firefighter was taken to a local hospital for heat exhaustion and was later released after treatment.
The home is now considered uninhabitable, and the Orland Fire District's Origin and Cause Team is investigating the cause of the fire. Several surrounding departments, including Palos, Tinley Park, Palos Heights, Lemont, North Palos, Homer, and Mokena, provided support at the scene.
This incident highlights the importance of quick response and community cooperation in preventing further damage during emergencies.
