2-Alarm fire in the Long Grove Fire Protection District

Feb 4

Posted by Admin in Fire Scene photos | 3 Comments

The Long Grove Fire District and neighboring fire departments responded to a kitchen fire at 2316 W Nichols Road shortly before 6PM on Tuesday. Additional calls reported that several residents were trapped. First arriving units found heavy fire on two floors and then upgraded the working fire to a MABAS Box Alarm. The building is located in the Country Glen Apartments, a very congested complex of similar six-unit, three-story buildings. This structure was located in a back corner with limited access to all sides. This made it difficult for fire apparatus to get close to the structure and was severely limiting. 

Although the fire was held to the building of origin, it was completely destroyed.

Three people were transported to area hospitals.
