Excerpts from nbcchicago.com:
At around 4 p.m. the Arlington Heights Police and Fire departments responded to the area of Derbyshire and Euclid avenues after a garbage truck powered by compressed natural gas partially exploded.
Debris was scattered along the street as a tow truck prepared to remove the garbage truck. Two police officers and one firefighter were injured by flying debris and sustained a “post-blast concussion.” All three were transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Authorities said it’s believed that one of the compressed natural gas tanks on the truck exploded. Truck parts landed several blocks away, and a shockwave caused substantial property damage to nearby homes.

The Arlington Heights Fire Department responded to a reported fire in a townhouse at 2110 S Crambourne Way on Saturday night 8-9-24. The first arriving company reported heavy fire from two units and requested an upgrade to a Code 4 Working Fire and then a MABAS Box Alarm. Firefighters made quick work of knocking down the fire before all of the responding units arrived on the scene.
Here are some images taken well after the fire was extinguished.

From Village of Arlington Heights
The Arlington Heights Fire Department recently presented its first-ever Bill Dressel Workhorse Award to Firefighter TJ Liebetrau, who ran the most calls in 2022. This new award was named after Bill Dressell, who served as an Arlington Heights Firefighter for 41 years before retiring in 2010. He attended the first paramedic class at Northwest Community Hospital in 1972, and this annual award will recognize his many years of service to our community. Recently, Bill stopped by the fire station to present the first Bill Dressell Workhorse Award to Firefighter Liebetrau, who responded to 783 calls in 2022. We look forward to continuing this new tradition in the Arlington Heights Fire Department and carrying on Bill’s legacy for generations to come. Congratulations to Firefighter Liebetrau for this impressive accomplishment!
thanks Drew
