Tragic Fire Destroys House in Lemont, Illinois
I woke up to some unsettling news this morning, and I wanted to share it with you right away. A house in suburban Lemont, Illinois, was engulfed in flames on Wednesday, south of downtown, just off Archer Avenue.

Firefighters were quick to respond, but the sheer volume of smoke and the structure’s damage made the job challenging. Thankfully, no one was home at the time, but the destruction is a stark reminder of how quickly a fire can change everything in a neighborhood.
If you live nearby, it’s worth taking a moment to check your smoke detectors and review your family’s emergency plan. Fires can happen in the blink of an eye, and being prepared can make all the difference…
