This from Larry Shapiro:

Prospect Heights firefighters were called to 702 S Elmhurst Road shortly before 9PM on Monday night (11/9/15) for fire in a vacant house. This was a house that they’d been training in that afternoon. Police called it in reporting heavy smoke with fire in the attic.

Wheeling, Long Grove, and Arlington Heights companies responded on the Code 3 alarm . The fire was contained in under 30 minutes and it never broke through the roof.

Here are some photos and a video.
