This from Larry Shapiro:
Residents called the Wheeling Fire Department Wednesday evening reporting some sort of explosion in the kitchen at 293 Lincoln Road. When the first police officer arrived, he reported smoke showing and that one person needed medical attention. Firefighters arrived within minutes and confirmed a fire inside the split-level house.
One ambulance transported the civilian to an area hospital and the alarm was upgraded tot he working fire. Two interior lines were used to make quick work of extinguishing the fire.
Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, and Northbrook units responded to the scene in addition to two engines, two ambulances, a truck, and two chief officers from Wheeling.
Here are a few images and a short video.

The Wheeling Fire Department received a call Thursday morning reporting a smoke smell in one unit of a three-unit townhouse on Kingswood Lane. Firefighters arrived at 303 Kingswood Lane to find a small fire in one wall. Workers had been sweating pipes in the unit. The fire began to spread up the wall in the adjacent unit and as the Wheeling tower ladder was deployed to the roof, the alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 for the working fire. Buffalo Grove Tower 25, Northbroook Engine 10, and Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Ambulance 52 responded to assist Wheeling companies at the scene. Firefighters made a quick hit on the fire and stopped it before it spread further. Wheeling Tower42 went to the roof in the ‘A’ sector and completed ventilating the roof as Buffalo Grove Tower 25 made the roof from the ‘B-C’ corner on the adjacent street.
