Early this morning at approximately 1:15 A.M., in the blistering cold, your St. Bernard Fire Department was dispatched to the 400 block of Lombardy Street in Elmwood Place for a residential structure fire. Crews found the building to be fully involved on arrival and were forced to fight the blaze from a defensive position. The firefighters on scene not only fought the fire, but also frozen hydrants, rapidly freezing hose lines, and slip & fall hazards due to the amount of ice being created from the water used to extinquish the flames. No firefighters were injured and investigations teams reported no injuries or fatalities inside the structure. Many thanks to all of the mutual aid companies that put in the work and provided support on the scene.
