Building fire in Robbins 9-19-12
On the night of September 19, 2012, around 11 p.m., the Robbins Fire Department was called out for a reported structure fire at a vacant house located at 137th Street and Monticello. Along with the initial response from Robbins, they were joined by crews from Garden Homes, Markham, Blue Island, and Dixmoor fire departments, all arriving with engine companies. Upon arrival, Robbins Engine 2913 and Tower 2914 found smoke coming from the rear of a two-flat, vacant building that was undergoing renovation. The main fire was on the first floor, with flames extending to the second floor.
The incident commander requested a full still-off from Box #2909, which brought in Midlothian Fire Department with a squad unit and Palos Heights Fire Department with an ambulance. It took approximately one and a half hours before the fire was fully under control. Later, it was confirmed that the correct address was 3617 S. Monticello Avenue.
