IKEA investigates store’s roof fire By Laura Katauskas Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com
IKEA store officials are still investigating what caused a solar panel to catch fire at its Bolingbrook location Saturday, May 12. The store, located at 750 E. Boughton Road, was evacuated for a short period of time
Saturday evening after a fire broke out on the roof. Fire officials initial reports said the fire was possibly caused by a solar panel. No injuries were reported. The first floor of the store was reopened two hours later. As of Sunday morning the second floor was partially re-opened. IKEA is seen as a leader in promoting sustainability and solar energy,
recently completing one of Illinois’ largest solar roofs on its Joliet distribution plant. Its Bolingbrook store was one of the first businesses to install a solar roof array years ago. IKEA actually has gone as far as selling solar panels for residential use; offering a range of solar systems to be installed on homes.
