Dryer Sparked Fire at Orland Park Condo

The origin of a fire at a condo Sunday in Orland Park has been traced to a clothes dryer.

Firefighters were called just after 12 p.m. to the 7500 block of Tiffany Drive and found smoke on the third floor of the six-unit condominium.

Crews encountered significant smoke on the first floor. Firefighters moved quickly to the third floor, finding fire in the area of the dryer. The flames were extinguished using their land hose. At the same time other crews assured the building’s six units had been evacuated and the fire did not extend into other areas of the building.

The fire was controlled in about 10 minutes after arrival and confined to the unit and area of origin. There were no injuries reported.
