Buffalo Grove Fire Department news

Buffalo Grove police and fire were dispatched for a woman pinned under a car this morning (7/17/20) in the Chase Plaza shopping center at Lake-Cook and Arlington Heights roads. The woman’s leg was caught underneath her car which apparently was in neutral instead of park when she exited the vehicle. Patrons of the nearby stores were able to shift the car into park before police officers and firefighters arrived. The car was raised with airbags to facilitate the victim’s release. She was then transported to an area hospital.

MVA with entrapment in Buffalo Grove, 6-15-16

Buffalo Grove police and firefighters were called to the scene of a two-car MVA on Weiland Road just north of Deerfield Parkway Wednesday at noon. Both drivers were injured. Damage to the driver’s side of the sedan hampered access to remove the patient and a pin-in response was requested. Two engines, two ambulances, and Battalion 4 were at the crash site in addition to several police officers. One patient was transported to Northwest Community Hospital and the other went to Condell Hospital.
