Effingham County, IL-(Effingham Radio)- From the Sigel Fire Department Facebook Page:
On April 29, 2024, at 06:42am, Sigel Fire was paged to Effingham County for a structure fire with reported smoke and fire coming from the garage. Upon arrival a full still was called due to the heavy fire and smoke conditions.
The heavy fire conditions and construction style of the house led to a defensive fire attack. Due to the rural location of the fire, several water tenders were needed to bring water to the scene to fight the fire. A nearby dry hydrant was used to help fill tenders quickly and allow tenders to fill at two locations.
Teutopolis, Shumway, Montrose, Neoga, Wabash, Watson, and Altamont FPDs assisted on scene or provided station coverage. Effingham County Sheriff’s Office, Rural Med EMS, and McWhorter Excavating were also on scene.
