Wheeling firefighters responding to an automatic alarm at 45 W Hintz Road found heavy smoke showing on arrival at Crothall Laundry Services. The first engine asked for a working fire upgrade and made entry into the large industrial laundry facility. The fire was located in a commercial dryer and extinguished before the mutual aid companies arrived.

This from Larry Shapiro:
Buffalo Grove received a call reporting fire in an attached garage at 398 Hawthorne Road. Nothing was visible on arrival but the first company found that the house was charged with smoke. They cut into the garage door and made a quick hit through that opening before entering the house. The fire was controlled within minutes. Here are some images and a brief video from the scene.
