Bolingbrook Gas Station Catches Fire, Causes Traffic Delays

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.

The commission will meet Wednesday at 8 p.m. at the Bolingbrook Town Center. The meeting is open to the public.
