This from Larry Shapiro:
Wheeling firefighters were called just before 4pm to 195 Cindy Lane for a report of smoke in the house. Within minutes the alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 for the working fire when police arrived and reported that the house was fully involved. Two residents that had gotten out of the house were transported to Northwest Community Hospital for smoke inhalation.
The size up from Wheeling Engine 23, the first fire unit on the scene was fire visible through the roof of the single-family home. Companies made an aggressive interior attack with fire in the attic and the second floor. The homeowner was reportedly doing some plumbing and sweating pipes when the fire broke out.
Long Grove, Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, and Mount Prospect units assisted the Wheeling companies.

Ambulance 23 was actually first on scene and gave the size up. Also, the alarm was upgraded to the Code 4 due to the residents being pulled out of the home not long after the initial Code 3 dispatch for smoke in the building. Not for police reporting it fully involved. They reported it fully involved about 2-3 minutes after the Code 4 upgrade. Great pictures as always. I also do not recall Long Grove being due on this either but I was not on the scene. Just the info I heard on RED Center.
