From Todd Wolf on Facebook:

Saw Middleburg Heights’ American LaFrance tower. I believe it’s a 2006, they picked it up a few years ago from Antioch Illinois. I have no other info about it. Don’t see many of these around anymore.

Fatal fire in Buffalo Grove, 7-22-24

Jul 22

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos | Comments off

This from Larry Shapiro:

Buffalo Grove police and firefighters responded to a garage fire at 10:30 this morning at 630 Woodhollow Lane. A header was visible as companies left quarters. Upon arrival, crews had heavy fire blowing out of the garage that communicated into the house and the alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 working fire. They were informed that a person, last known to be in the garage, was unaccounted for. Firefighters attacked the fire and made entry to conduct a search. They encountered heavy fire and high heat, and were able to knock down the bulk of the fire within about 30 minutes. The missing person did not survive the fire.

Buffalo Grove was assisted by Long Grove, Arlington Heights, Libertyville, Linolnshire-Riverwoods, Lake Forest, and Wheeling. During the fire, a water main broke down the block and began to flood the adjoining street.
