Arlington Heights firefighters were called to 2142 N Orchid Lane early Sunday evening (11/13/16) for a reported house fire. When companies arrived they had a fire on the second floor and upgraded the alarm to a Code 4 for the working fire. A broken water main and hoarder conditions hampered firefighters who were able to declare the fire under control in under 40 minutes.
