Elm Grove Home Catches Fire

No one was home when firefighters responded to a fire at the Chuck Namack residence at 433 Winter Ave. in Elm Grove about 12:45 p.m. Thursday.

“No one was injured in the fire. There is minimal fire damage to the structure, but there is significant smoke damage to the home,” said Lt. Steve Rogers, fire investigator for the Wheeling Fire Department.

Rogers said the fire probably arose from a problem with the wiring in the basement of the 12-year-old home, but he stopped short of calling the wiring “faulty.”

“This fire looks totally accidental at this point,” he added.

Rogers said Namack lived at the home with his wife and daughter.

“I think the home is repairable, but whenever you have significant smoke damage, you will have to deal with getting everything cleaned up,” he said.

Rogers also said fire investigators are still working to determine what caused a piece of PVC pipe to ignite on the roof of the former Rite Aid building at 1135 Market St. about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

“That one really has us baffled at this point because we don’t know how the pipe caught fire. But we will keep investigating it,” he noted.
