Brush fire spreads, burns down home in Burlington

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:25:43 GMT

A fire tore through a home in Burlington Friday afternoon after spreading from a nearby wooded area, officials said. The fire started as a brush fire in woods next to the nearby Wyman Elementary School’s parking lot. Officials said it then quickly burned into the home near Terrance Hall and Humboldt avenues, sending a large plume of smoke over the area and keeping emergency crews busy on an already busy day of brush fire responses.  “It hit the side of the house and all of a sudden, flames were coming out, shooting out,” neighbor Oscar Almaida said. While some neighbors called for help, Almaida said others got out garden hoses and made sure a woman inside the house got out. The woman was able to escape the home safely, though firefighters said the home is now destroyed. “By the time we got here, it was already in the attic,” Burlington Fire Chief Andy Connerty said. “So, it was a defensive operation from the beginning.”Flames in Burlington came after th...

Zareen Syed | Chicago TribuneIt’s clear that wrestler Emma Engels doesn’t do it “for the ‘gram,” and certainly not for the attention.The 15-year-old sophomore from Bartlett High School is fresh off an Illinois High School Association wrestling championship victory, but you likely wouldn’t guess that based on how quickly she shoves her gold medal back into her backpack. She’s just not the type to brag about her victories on outlets such as Instagram.“Next year, it won’t matter,” said Engels, of Elgin. “And I go play softball now, and they’ll make an announcement about it, but the girls across the (softball) field aren’t going to care that I won the championship in wrestling.”On Feb. 25, Engels won the 100-pound championship match of the girls wrestling state meet in Bloomington, becoming only the fourth state champ in Bartlett High School history.Previous state champions include a female bowler, a student journalist and a male wrestler 11 years before Engels joined the ranks.During t...

Farrell has resumed practicing with the team and returned to the pitch during stoppage time in the Revolution’s 1-1 draw with NYCFC at home on April 1.Kessler has started six games and logged maximum minutes, a streak he will likely extend when the Revolution (4-1-1) host CF Montreal on Saturday night (7:30) at Gillette Stadium.“(Henry) is having a good year to date,” said Revolution head coach and sporting director Bruce Arena. “Certainly, in the first five games, we have been, I think, improved in the back line although we have a way to go. But it has been a good start to the season.”Center back Dave Romney, who was acquired in a cash deal with Nashville SC in January, has taken over Farrell’s spot. Like Kessler, Romney has started every game and played max minutes w...
