This from Sam Borcia:
The Countryside Fire Department were dispatched initially to a smoke investigation inside a townhouse at 821 Faulkner Place in Vernon Hills Sunday, 7-20-14, at around 8:40 PM. It was upgraded to a working fire and soon after a Box Alarm. I’ve included some of the photos,Thanks, Sam Borcia.
here is a link to the photos on my Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.684353098313590.1073741907.229793033769601&type=1.
Some images from Larry Shapiro who arrived much later.
While one engine, investigators, and the shift commander were still on the scene around 1:40AM, they noticed smoke in the residence adjoining the original fire unit. A full still alarm response was sent back to the scene as they uncovered the fire in a void space between the units. Highwood Truck 37, in Vernon Hills on a change of quarters from the original alarm, sent their company to the roof after setting up thee aerial.
Companies were released around 3AM.

The two dates on the decal are the same which tells me it was put up the same day as the fire.

Not necessarily, it just means the building is unsafe for occupancy after the damage sustained in the fire….

Hmm..This Building cannot be occupied after July 20, 2014…fire is on July 20, 2014…can someone say arson?
