Wheeling firefighters were called to 1460 Anthony Road on Friday (5/12/17) for fire in a detached garage. Arriving companies found a fully involved, two-car garage. The alarm was upgraded to a. Code 4 bringing units from Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, and Long Grove. The garage and one car parked inside were destroyed while radiant heat caused minor damage to the exterior of the home.

Wheeling firefighters were dispatched for a working fire Saturday evening at 728 River Walk Drive. A neighbor called to report fire on the outside deck of a unit across the communal driveway that appeared to originate from a propane grill and was extending from the second floor deck to the third floor.

A Wheeling police officer evacuated the resident and firefighters made a quick initial hit with an exterior line that knocked down the bulk of the fire within minutes. Companies entered the unit to extinguish fire that had spread to the interior and stopped the fire from entering and taking hold of the attic space. Units from Mt. Prospect, Northbrook, and Arlington Heights assisted the Wheeling companies at the scene.
