This from Eric Haak:

On Saturday, November 19th, the Chicago Fire Department responded to the report of a house fire shortly after sunrise. The Englewood Fire Alarm Office had received two different locations and the first engine arrived at the first address with nothing showing. The alarm office advised they were also getting calls for 74th Street and Engine 54 landed with a fire a few seconds later. The residence was occupied but no one was at home at the time. The last photo shows a little modification made to a spare rig.

Shortly before 11PM on Sunday, the Buffalo Grove Fire Department received several calls reporting flames seen from a house at 275 W. Dundee Road. First arriving units had fire in an outdoor storage area that had communicated to the structure. The alarm was upgraded to a working fire response bringing Long Grove, Palatine, and Lincolnshire-Riverwoods companies to assist the Buffalo Grove and Arlington Heights units already on the scene.

The building was once a single family residence that had been converted to offices several years ago. Fire got into the eaves and was stopped before taking hold of the attic. Most mutual aid companies were returned shortly after arriving.
