Arlington Heights firefighters were called to 2142 N Orchid Lane early Sunday evening (11/13/16) for a reported house fire. When companies arrived they had a fire on the second floor and upgraded the alarm to a Code 4 for the working fire. A broken water main and hoarder conditions hampered firefighters who were able to declare the fire under control in under 40 minutes.

Fire in a Lincolnshire hotel, 10-31-16

This from Larry Shapiro:

Lincolnshire-Riverwoods companies were sent to the Springhill Suites hotel at 300 Marriott Drive around 10:30PM Monday (10/31/16) for a fire alarm. After receiving calls from the premises reporting smoke and flames seen in the pool area, the alarm was upgraded to a Code 3 with an additional engine.

On arrival, the hotel guests were evacuating and a heavy smoke condition was observed in the room with the swimming pool. The alarm was then upgraded to a Code 4 for the working fire.

Due to heavy smoke conditions, it took several minutes for firefighters to find the origin of the fire and extinguish it. After searching, venting, and checking air quality on all the floors, guests were allowed back into their rooms.

In addition to Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Engines 52, 53, Truck 51, Ambulances 51 and 52, and Battalion 51, mutual and auto-aid companies included Buffalo Grove Engine 27, Long Grove Squad 55, Deerfield-Bannockburn Squad 19, Lake Forest Truck 421, Wheeling Truck 24, Buffalo Grove Battalion 4, Deerfield 20, and Lake Zurich Ambulance 4.

Chicago firefighters were sent to 126 E 47th Street at about 10:30PM (11/17/15). Battalion 5 requested a Still & Box for fire in the one-story commercial structure. Companies were pulled out of the building in short order and they went defensive and the fire was upgraded to a 2-11 Alarm shortly thereafter. The fire communicated to the two-story exposure to the east. The original building collapsed and the exposure was gutted.

There were three tower ladders operating master streams along with 6-6-1 the reserve Snorkel plus multi-versals and the deck gun from Engine 19. Conditions during the fire included strong winds and sporadic rain that was very heavy at times.

Several contributors were at the fire and there will be several posts.

Here are images and a video from Larry Shapiro
