Fatal house fire in Antioch, 3-15-15

A tragic house fire occurred early Sunday morning in the 38000 block of Drexel Boulevard, located in unincorporated Antioch Township. An elderly man has lost his life in the incident, according to local authorities.

The fire broke out in an upstairs room of a three-level home. Six of the seven residents managed to escape before emergency crews arrived. The seventh resident, 76-year-old Lowell B. Simonson, was found in an upstairs bedroom and later pronounced dead on the way to the hospital. His 74-year-old wife is currently in serious condition due to smoke inhalation.

Authorities are still investigating the cause and origin of the fire. The entire house was destroyed, leaving nothing but ashes behind. Firefighters worked tirelessly through the night to bring the blaze under control, with multiple water tenders and long hose lines deployed to the scene.

Photos from the scene show the devastating impact of the fire. One image captures a rural water supply setup used by firefighters, while another highlights the damage caused by radiant heat to a neighboring home. Several photos also depict the interior of the burned-out structure, showing how completely it was gutted.

Additional images showcase the fire department’s efforts, including water tenders lined up to supply the scene, a canteen service unit for personnel, and firefighters using hoses to battle the flames. One photo shows two firefighters who were among the first to arrive, successfully rescuing the victim before conditions inside became too dangerous.

The community is now coming to terms with the loss, as investigators continue their work and families grieve the tragedy.
