Fatal fire in Evanston, 3-10-22

Here's an excerpt from a recent report by the City of Evanston:

EVANSTON, IL – On Thursday, March 10, at around noon, firefighters from Evanston responded to a residential structure located at 1516 Brummel Street after receiving reports of smoke coming from the building.

Upon arrival, first responders encountered heavy black smoke emanating from the basement of the single-family home. The initial crew faced intense fire conditions on the lower level, prompting an immediate escalation to a Box Alarm. This required three hose lines and assistance from neighboring fire departments to bring the fire under control.

The property owners returned home and noticed smoke coming from their house. Before emergency services arrived, one of them—a 87-year-old man—entered the building to investigate the source. Firefighters quickly located him at the bottom of the basement stairs and rescued him. Emergency medical care was provided, and he was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.

Family members were notified, and support services were offered by the Evanston Fire Department Chaplain Monte Dillard and the American Red Cross.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation. However, it is reported that smoke detectors were working properly at the time. According to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), smoke detectors should be tested monthly and batteries replaced at least once or twice a year, depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations. In case of activation, residents are advised to immediately evacuate and call 911 for assistance.
