Bolingbrook Gas Station Catches Fire, Causes Traffic Delays

A   caught fire this morning after a customer drove off with the nozzle still attached to their car.

The fire, located at the  near the Boughton Road and Schmidt Road intersection, happened shortly after 9 a.m. and caused major traffic delays for morning commuters as  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.
