Downers Grove office building on Warren was destroyed early Monday.
UPDATE 2:25 p.m. According to optometrist Dr. Janet Walser, who has had her office in that building since 1986: The tenants received a call from the building's owner, Debbie Wendell, at about 6 a.m., informing them of the fire. She was told a resident of the Oak Tree Towers, located across the street north of the office building, saw smoke at about 1:30 a.m. and called the fire in.

Lucy, I agree totally with your comments. The person who did this then killed himself. Why take innocent lives. If you want to kill yourself, even though that is not a solution, go ahead and do it without harming others. TRAGIC. more ›
Gas pumps at the Speedway, located near the Boughton Road and Schmidt Road intersection, are closed. Convenient store still open.
A Bolingbrook Speedway caught fire this morning after a customer drove off with the nozzle still attached to their car. The fire, located at the Speedway near the Boughton Road and Schmidt Road intersection, happened shortly after 9 a.m. and caused major traffic delays for morning commuters as Bolingbrook police shut down both directions of Boughton Road while firefighters contained the blaze. The road was reopened and salted by 11 a.m. The fire was quickly extinguished, Bolingbrook Lieutenant Mike Rompa said. No injuries were reported in the incident. As a result, none of the station's gas pumps are in working condition and won't be for an unidentified period of time. The convenient store, however, remains open for business.

Gas still leaking from the ground after fire. ComEd crews on scene.
Bolingbrook firefighters on Thursday afternoon put out a small fire that began after the home's gas meter was omitting fumes from the ground. Batallion Chief Dan Graff said firefighters responded to a home on the 500 block of Boardman Circle, located on the northern border of Bolinbrook, and found a small fire that originated on the outside gas meter of the home.

The village's fire department will also get a new ambulance and power lift stretcher.
Eight Bolingbrook police squad cars are in line to get an upgrade in computer equipment after the village's board of trustees voted in September to purchase the hardware. The village will pay $39,056 for eight new Panasonic laptop computers from CDS Office Technologies. That price, which includes hardware, software and extended warranties, is more than $40,000 under budget. Those savings will be used later in the year for additional replacements, Bolingbrook Police Chief Kevin McCarthy said. McCarthy said the upgrade is long overdue for some squad cars, which were still operating with antiquated computers. He said each computer, valued at $4,882 each, will be able to withstand the demands associated with police work, including the ability …
