A fire broke out at the three-story Victorian "Boynton Mansion," built in 1886. A van in the carport was fully involved. Upon arrival, heavy fire was spreading into the kitchen and up to the first and second floors. The crew responded with a 2-11, and they managed to contain it effectively.Art

Here are some excerpts from DailyChronicle.com:
Norm Mathisen noticed an unusual smell while doing carpentry work at the historic Charles O. Boynton House on Friday. When he looked outside, he saw his van on fire.
The flames quickly spread from the carport where the van was parked to all three floors of the Sycamore landmark. Firefighters from over a dozen local departments spent about three hours putting out the fire.
Mathisen, owner of DeKalb-based Norm’s Custom Hardwood Flooring, said he didn’t notice anything wrong with the van when he returned from lunch around 12:30 p.m. He called 911 when the fire was still contained to the van.
Sycamore Assistant Fire Chief Todd Turner mentioned that the 911 call came in at 12:52 p.m., reporting a burning van in the carport. By the time crews controlled the fire in the carport, it had already spread through the entire house. Firefighters had to remove walls and windows to ensure the fire was completely extinguished.
The mansion, an 8,000-square-foot Queen Anne-style red brick home, was designed by George O. Garnsey, who also built a similar property in DeKalb. It remained in the Boynton family for a century and was built in 1886 and 1887 for $12,000 (about $320,000 today). It has been a popular stop on local house tours.
Sycamore firefighters received assistance from several area departments, including DeKalb, Maple Park, Elburn, Kirkland, Hinckley, Sugar Grove, Burlington, Genoa-Kingston, and Cortland.
Thanks, Art.
