The Calumet Park Fire Department (IL) received a report of a structure on the 12400 block of South Honore at about 1920 hours on Monday evening (7-21-14).  Response time for the first engine and truck was less than two minutes.  Companies arrived to find the occupants outside and a fair amount of smoke pushing from the front door.  Companies made entry and quickly found the seat of the fire to be in a back bedroom.  Within three minutes of arrival, the Calumet Fire Department had the fire knocked down and held in check.  The fire did not extend to any other rooms or the attic.  Posen, Midlothian, Merrionette Park and Riverdale went auto-aid.
