Schaumburg companies responded to a fire in a third floor apartment at 1212 Algonquin Road early this afternoon. According to the TribLocalSchaumburg:

Police said it is believed to be a small fire that was contained to a single bedroom. One person was taken to Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights, but the individual’s identity and condition were not immediately available.

A Box Alarm was requested after the fire was out for change companies since all of the Schaumburg units were committed at the fire scene.
