Working fire in Schaumburg, 12-4-22

This from Larry Shapiro:

Schaumburg firefighters were dispatched to a commercial building fire in an auto body repair shop shortly after 6PM on Sunday evening (12-4-22) at 841 W Wise Road, a block from Schaumburg Station 53. Police reported 20-foot flames in the rear of the building which firefighters confirmed on arrival. The alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 working fire bringing all of the Schaumburg companies to the scene in addition to an engine and ambulance from Roselle. Change of quarters companies from several area departments were sent to Schaumburg stations.

The fire was actually in a dumpster/garbage area in the rear of the building which resulted in some communication into the building’s roof. Companies had the fire out within 10 minutes but worked for over an hour checking for extension and hitting hotspots. The corrected address was 857 W Wise Road.

The Hanover Township Emergency Services also responded to the scene with support units and lighting.

Crabby – The Dash CF really was a great concept! The cab is massive and spacious! It’s unfortunate, that the design led to major problems on many of the rigs which is why this chassis was discontinued.

The DASH CF may not have been a long lasting or for that matter the best in terms of quality and design. But they were sharp looking rigs.

What territory does Hanover Township cover? Seems like they go to a lot of calls within a large area.

Good grief, get rid of the stupid play pipe. This isn’t the 1930’s anymore. ISO doesn’t require you to have them. Just get a regular 2.5” shut off and your 1.25” tip..FFS
