To reduce response times in our northern district due to heavy snow and possible white out conditions we are staffing our brush truck 1438 at the Illinois Tollway facility at Rt. 20 and I-90. The brush truck carries EMS equipment, extrication equipment and has fire suppression capabilities. Firefighters Morgan and Ribandt have been assigned to this detail. We signed an agreement with the Illinois Tollway two years ago for these situations. This is the second time we’ve implemented the plan. Last time we reduced response times by over 10 minutes. We thank the Illinois Tollway! This will be the last winter for this as station 2 will be open in the late spring or early summer.

Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:
Hampshire fire officials said they were called to a home in the 800 block of Elm Street Monday just after 4 p.m. for a grill on fire. As firefighters responded, they could see a large header from several blocks away. When they arrived they found a large fire in the back of the 2-story home on both floors and in the attic.
Firefighters were told that someone was trapped in the home. They began searching under heavy smoke, and determined the two residents had already managed to escape before going separate ways, unable to find each other.
One resident was taken to Elgin Hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation. The second resident refused treatment at the scene, and a Hampshire police officer was also transported for smoke inhalation.
Firefighters were able to get the fire under control around 4:45 p.m. A propane grill on the back deck caught fire, which then spread rapidly up the side of the house and into the attic. The home was badly damaged by the fire.
