The Highland Park Fire Department responded to a report of smoke in the house at 150 Lakeside Place Wednesday night. Upon arrival of the first unit, the alarm was upgraded to a working fire (Code 4) which brought additional units. Companies were on the scene from all three Highland Park stations as well as Highwood, Glencoe, Northbrook, and Deerfield plus others that moved into the Highland Park stations to cover their town.

Companies made quick work of knocking down the active attic fire.

Tim Olk and Larry Shapiro both went to the scene and several images.
