Rural Oswego Outbuilding 'A Complete Loss' After Fire: FD

OSWEGO, IL — An outbuilding in rural Oswego was "a complete loss" after a fire broke out just after midnight Sunday, according to officials at the Oswego Fire Protection District.

Firefighters were dispatched at about 12:52 a.m. for a possible structure fire in the 0-99 block of East Timberlake Trail. While en route, crews were advised police were on the scene of a fully involved fire at a 100-foot-by-50-foot outbuilding.

Crews brought the fire under control in about 45 minutes after establishing a water tender due to the lack of fire hydrants in the area, officials said.

Officials did not have an estimate of the damages but said the structure and its contents were destroyed. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but officials noted it does not appear to be suspicious.

No civilians or firefighters were injured in the incident.

Oswego firefighters were assisted on the scene by crews from Plainfield, Aurora Township, Troy, Lisbon-Seward, Sandwich, Bristol Kendall and Sugar Grove departments. The Oswego station was covered by crews from North Aurora, Naperville and Bristol Kendall.
