Crews Battled Wednesday Afternoon Structure Fire that Destroyed Selma Home
Firefighters battled a structure fire that destroyed a home near Lake Selmac late yesterday.
On Wednesday at 4:06 p.m., the Illinois Valley Fire District, Rural Metro Fire Department and American Medical Response were dispatched to a structure fire in the 3600-block of Lakeshore Drive.
IVFD initially responded to what was reported as a vehicle fire -- but dispatchers upgraded the incident to a structure fire, prompting the dispatch of additional units.
Upon arrival, IVFD found a single-family dwelling fully-involved with flames. Crews successfully contained the fire and released Rural Metro to cover the district. Rural Metro and AMR responded to an unrelated medical incident.
No injuries were reported among civilians or fire personnel.
Officials said the cause of the fire was under investigation.
