Arlington Heights units responded to a reported basement fire Monday evening at 106 S. Walnut Avenue. Tower 1 was first on scene and reported smoke from the basement. They entered with a line through the rear and a second line was readied at the front door. Firefighters found what was believed to by pyrotechnics being worked with by the owner which produced extensive smoke with minimal fire.
All Arlington Heights units responded to the scene plus a mutual aid engine from Rolling Meadows.
Larry Shapiro arrived after the smoke had cleared and submitted some images from the scene including the newest unit in the fleet; Engine 3 which recently went into service.
