Excerpts from the DailyHerald.com:
No one was injured in a blaze in the 200 block of Oak Knolls Court in Schaumburg that started around 3 a.m. Saturday, but flames quickly spread through other’s garages, lighting up vehicles and then flitting upward. Five vehicles burned. The building was left uninhabitable.
The four units in the townhouse building were badly damaged, while a firewall prevented the fire from spreading to another four units, which sustained only smoke damage.
“When the first units arrived, it was completely involved in fire. Then it started spreading up the outside walls into the eaves and attic,” Schaumburg Fire Capt. John Steele said.
Smoke detectors were working and alerted residents of the two-story wood structure. Fire departments from nine different towns assisted.
thanks Steve

Schaumburg Village Manager Brian Townsend is pleased to announce the selection of James G. Walters as the new Schaumburg fire chief. Walters currently serves as the fire chief for the Village of Skokie.
Chief Walters, who will be sworn in on August 25, 2017, brings a wealth of experience to the position. For the past 31 years, he has served the Village of Skokie in the roles of firefighter paramedic, lieutenant, captain, deputy chief of operations, and deputy chief of administration. He has been the fire chief for the past two years.
Chief Walters holds numerous State of Illinois Fire Marshal certifications including the requirements for Chief Fire Officer; he is certified in Supervision of Fire Personnel from the Northwestern Illinois University Traffic Institute; is an NFPA Certified Fire Inspector; is certified in incident command and is NIMS compliant; and retains his Illinois State EMT-B license. Chief Walters holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Northeastern Illinois University and a Master’s in Public Administration from Keller Graduate School of Management.
Chief Walters will receive an annual salary of $150,000. He is well-versed in the requirements of the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) process to evaluate performance of fire departments, which is currently underway in Schaumburg and expected to be received in the spring of 2018. Chief Walters also has substantial experience with financial administration and strategic planning.
Chief Walters will be filling the vacancy left by Schaumburg Fire Chief David Schumann, who announced his plan to retire earlier this year after 38 years of service with the fire department. Chief Schumann will retire effective Friday, August 25, ending an 18-year tenure as chief.
Townsend’s recommendation will be submitted to the Village Board at its regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, June 27.
