Union Fire was dispatched to a Residential Fire last Saturday at 01:00 in Shorewood Forrest. When units arrived on scene they were met with a fully involved two story home. After completion of a size up it was quickly learned that the floor had collapsed into the basement and that the house had been burning for quite some time. Defensive operations were quickly set up with the main focus on protecting the houses next door from sustaining further heat damage. The house was deemed a total loss. Thankfully, nobody was living in the residence at the time.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to our assisting departments:
Boone Grove Fire Department

Late Wednesday evening, our department was dispatched to a residential fire. Initial reports from the dispatch center was flames and smoke showing. A tanker plan 1 was requested at that time. Upon arrival crews found heavy fire in the second story that turned into a roof collapse of the home. This was also a part of our response area that did not have hydrants, so tankers had to be requested. With windy and frigid temperatures, it made it very difficult with very icy conditions happening due to the water use for extinguishment. Luckily, no was was injured and all fire personnel returned home safely. We like to thank our mutual aid departments, Chesterton Fire Department, Coolspring Volunteer Fire Department Inc., Westville Vol. Fire Department and Liberty Township Volunteer Fire Department. We’d also like to thank Porter Volunteer Firefighters, Inc. and Burns Harbor Fire Department for standbys provided, Porter County Central Communications (911), Porter County Sheriff's Office, and Porter EMS. Great job by all involved!
