The first-arriving engine company encountered heavy smoke, extreme heat, and flames showing from the exterior of the home. The basement had rapidly become fully involved.

Crews mounted an aggressive interior attack but initially faced conditions too intense to safely advance into the basement. Exterior crews worked to reduce the fire's intensity alongside interior crews. In a short time, their combined efforts allowed interior crews to push forward and bring the fire under control.

Despite extensive damage, firefighters were able to save the structure.

Orland Fire Protection District crews were assisted on scene by neighboring departments, including Tinley Park, Oak Forest, Palos Heights, and North Palos.
