This from Sam Borcia:
The Countryside Fire Department were dispatched initially to a smoke investigation inside a townhouse at 821 Faulkner Place in Vernon Hills Sunday, 7-20-14, at around 8:40 PM. It was upgraded to a working fire and soon after a Box Alarm. I’ve included some of the photos,Thanks, Sam Borcia.

Some images from Larry Shapiro who arrived much later.
While one engine, investigators, and the shift commander were still on the scene around 1:40AM, they noticed smoke in the residence adjoining the original fire unit. A full still alarm response was sent back to the scene as they uncovered the fire in a void space between the units. Highwood Truck 37, in Vernon Hills on a change of quarters from the original alarm, sent their company to the roof after setting up thee aerial.
Companies were released around 3AM.
