This from Larry Shapiro:

Wheeling firefighters were called to 697 S. Merle for a fully-involved, detached garage fire. A header was visible while companies were en route and multiple 9-1-1 calls were received. The alarm was upgraded to the Code 4 for the working fire bringing mutual and auto-aid from Buffalo Grove, Prospect heights, Long Grove, and Arlington Heights.

Here are several images from the scene plus a video.

This from Eric Haak:

Not much but did catch this alley garage before they got water on it.

A 1978 Corvette became a victim of this alley garage fire in the 4600 block of south Laramie. Engines 34 and 32 along with Truck 52 and Tower Ladder 54 made quick work of the 20 x 20 frame in Chicago’s 16th Battalion but not before the fire had consumed the contents and left the fiberglass classic a pile of goo. 1st photo captures power lines as they broke free under the intense heat.
