The Palatine FD received multiple calls reporting a house on fire at 635 E. Thornhill Drive late Monday night (1/28/19). A header was visible while companies were en route and the response was upgraded to a Code 4 Working Fire. Arriving units found fire traveling up the outside of the house in the B-sector. The fire was extinguished quickly with minimal extension inside the house. All Palatine companies were at the scene plus an engine from Arlington Heights and a Buffalo Grove ambulance.

This from Eric Haak:
I took in three fires on Wednesday and got to all three of them late. I decided to send in a few images from each in honor of everyone who has to work outside in these conditions. The first image is from the still & box on the 1500 block of Kostner. It must have really been going as the entire face of the building was covered with soot. A dog was rescued from this fire as seen in the third image.The third and fourth images were taken on the 9100 block of South Crandon which was another still & box.The last image is of Engine 38 with their second fire of the day on the 1400 block of South Ridgeway.
