From Lockport Township Fire Protection District on Facebook:
The overnight shift saw firefighters respond to a structure fire within District 2 (Crest Hill). Engine 2 arrived to discover smoke billowing from the eaves, with an active fire raging in both the garage and attic.
This report comes via Chris Skrabel, who shared some images of the scene at 323 Birkey. Here's what he captured:

The first photo shows the initial response, where you can clearly see the thick smoke rising from the roofline. The second image gives a closer look at the Seagrave fire truck on the scene, which was instrumental in managing the blaze. In the third picture, you get a better sense of how widespread the fire had become, engulfing not just the garage but also parts of the attic.
One of the later shots highlights the firefighters in action, working tirelessly to extinguish the flames. The final photo captures the aftermath, showing the extent of the damage while emphasizing the dedication of the Lockport Township FPD team.
It's moments like these that remind us of the bravery and skill of our local first responders. Thanks to everyone involved for their hard work in containing this incident. Stay safe out there!
