Simultaneous Fires in Winfield???
What are the chances of the Winfield Fire Protection District having two house fires happening within minutes of each other? Well, ask the homeowners at 0N272 Pleasant Hill Road and 1N712 Bob-O-Link Drive.
On Wednesday, April 9, 2008, at about 3:23 p.m., the Winfield Fire Protection District was dispatched for a house fire at 0N272 Pleasant Hill Road in unincorporated Wheaton. In addition, the appropriate mutual aid departments were also dispatched from Carol Stream, Wheaton, and Glen Ellyn and a Chief Officer from West Chicago. Shortly after arrival on the scene, the Winfield Fire District was dispatched for a second house fire at 1N712 Bob-O-Link Drive in Winfield, less than a half-mile from the first incident. At this point, most mutual aid companies were diverted to the Bob-O-Link fire while in route to Pleasant Hill.
