Northbrook house fire, 4-30-14

Northbrook firefighters were called to 1434 Lori-Lyn Lane shortly before 7PM tonight. On arrival, they reported smoke and fire visible at the roof and upgraded the alarm. Units in addition to the Northbrook companies to the scene were Wheeling Engine 42, Glenview Truck 14, and Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Ambulance 52.

After attempting an interior attack, all companies were pulled out of the house when the visible fire overhead increased. Two hand lines and a tower ladder were used and they made quick work of knocking down the flames.

Here are some images from Tim Olk.
