Jim Skrabel witnessed a fire this morning in Joliet at 1701 Sierra Highland Court. Here's his firsthand account of the incident: A two-story home was engulfed in heavy flames on one side, which caused damage to the neighboring house. Engine 9, the first arriving unit, made a strong initial attack and managed to knock the fire down by the time I arrived. Two 1 3/4-inch lines were deployed from Engine 9, while Truck 9 had their jacks ready in case they needed to use the aerial device for roof access. The responding units included Engines 9, 8, and 10, along with Truck 9, B/C 2, and ambulances 8, 9, and 10. Firefighters used a hand line to tackle the remaining fire near the soffit after a quick knock-down of an exterior fire.
