Early this afternoon the Buffalo Grove Fire Department received a call reporting a fire in the rear of a home at 214 Navajo Trail. Police arrived and confirmed a fire before the fire department arrived. The first arriving units found smoke in the rear of the ranch house and pulled a line. They discovered a fire along the rear of the house that was burning below the patio door. One line extinguished the fire as a second company entered the house and verified that there was no extension.
