Grain Bin Fire in Beecher, 8-11-20

This report comes from Mike Lopina:

On Tuesday, August 11th, the Beecher Fire Protection District (FPD) and auto aid companies responded to a reported grain bin fire at the 900 block of E Delite Inn Road, near 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 was dispatched with a 1.75-inch attack line to tackle the fire, while Tender 44 provided initial water supply, which was later supported by Grant Park Engine 110 and a Crete Township tender.

The Beecher FPD was assisted by units from Grant Park, Monee, and Peotone, along with support from Manteno and Crete Township tenders. Chiefs from Peotone and Crete Township also arrived on scene to coordinate efforts. Auto aid companies were released after the initial response, but Beecher crews remained to ensure the fire was fully extinguished. The operation involved careful coordination between multiple departments, highlighting the importance of mutual aid in such incidents.
