NAPERVILLE, Ill. ~ NAPERVILLE, Ill. - In the early hours of Thursday, April 30, the Naperville Emergency Communications Center (ECC) received a call regarding a fire alarm activation at a commercial property on the 500 block of South Route 59. The ECC quickly dispatched a single fire suppression unit to the scene.

Upon arrival, Truck 7 reported no visible signs of fire from the front of the building. However, upon further investigation, firefighters detected an odor of something burning and light smoke in the area. As a precautionary measure, the response was upgraded to a general alarm and additional units were sent to the scene.

The initial arriving companies conducted a thorough survey of the structure and provided an on-scene report before establishing command. A search of the commercial occupancy was completed and it was discovered that a small fire had been partially extinguished by the building's fire sprinkler system. Firefighters worked diligently to overhaul the affected area and fully extinguish any remaining smoldering flames.
