The Buffalo Grove Fire Department received calls last night reporting smoke coming from a home near the corner of Evergreen Place and White Pine Road. The first unit reported smoke showing and the alarm was upgraded for the working fire which brought additional units from Buffalo Grove plus companies from Long Grove, Arlington Heights, Palatine, Prospect Heights, and Lincolnshire-Riverwoods.

Upon entry, the first companies encountered a house that was completely charged with smoke. The roof and windows were ventilated and a fire was located and contained in a corner bedroom on the second floor. A cat was found inside and received aid from Buffalo Grove medics while multiple birds perished.
After venting the rear windows, firefighters prepare to check the basement for a possible victim. Larry Shapiro photo
Larry Shapiro submitted images from the scene.

Contributors Tim Olk and Larry Shapiro are currently working together to provide fire departments with the opportunity to have professional photos of their personnel. For many years, departments have been documenting officers, firefighters, and staff for historical purposes as well as maintaining current photos for a host of other reasons.
Additionally, in the unlikely event that a department member is lost, having access to a professional portrait helps to insure that their memory can be preserved with honor and dignity.
- One offering is formal portraits with Class A uniforms.

- Each individual portrait can be combined to display the entire department in a single composite.

- Also available is a full-length portrait with turn-out gear that can be reproduced with any one of a number of different backgrounds. Multiple images can be combined to include a company, a full shift, or the entire department.
