Grain Bin Fire in Beecher, 8-11-20
This report comes from Mike Lopina: On Tuesday, August 11th, the Beecher Fire Protection District and auto aid companies responded to a reported fire at the 900 block of E Delite Inn Road (Delite Inn Road and Cottage Grove Avenue). Upon arrival, Deputy Chief 45 found no visible flames but quickly identified a smoldering fire in the center of the grain bin. Truck 44 deployed an 1.75-inch line to attack the fire from the main. Tender 44 provided initial water supply, which was later supported by Grant Park Engine 110 and a Crete Township tender. Beecher was assisted by engines from Grant Park, Monee, and Peotone, as well as tenders from Manteno and Crete Township. Chiefs from Peotone and Crete Township also arrived on scene. Auto aid companies were released shortly after, while Beecher crews remained to ensure the fire was fully extinguished. The incident highlighted the coordinated response between local departments and the importance of quick action in preventing a small smolder into a larger fire. Several photos captured the efforts, including aerial ladder operations and the critical task of supplying water to the front lines.
