Wheeling and Prospect Heights firefighters transported five patients to area hospitals from a three-car MVA Sunday night on Route 83 at Jenkins Court. All three Wheeling ambulances were at the scene along with Battalion 24, both Wheeling engines, and Prospect Heights Ambulance 9.
Early Sunday evening, (3/3/24) Lake Zurich and neighboring firefighters were dispatched for a fire on the rear deck of a house that was extending to the structure on Kimberly Road in North Barrington. The house is situated on a narrow street in an area without hydrants. The first engine pulled a line for the deck fire and they were subsequently nursed by the second-due engine for additional water. Lake Zurich’s third engine then did the same before the first tanker arrived with an additional water supply. The fire was upgraded to a MABAS Box Alarm for a tender shuttle, but the fire was extinguished before there was a need for a that.
A partial list of equipment at the scene included trucks from Wauconda and Buffalo Grove, a squad from Libertyville, an engine from Wheeling, ambulances from Mundelein, Palatine, and the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods FPD, tankers (tenders) from Cary, Long Grove, Libertyville, and the Countryside FPD.

Buffalo Grove firefighters were called to a house on Middleton Court Tuesday afternoon. On arrival they had smoke pushing out of the front door and roof vent. The alarm was upgraded to a working fire bringing mutual aid companies to the scene from Long Grove, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, and Arlington Heights. Additional companies moved into Buffalo Grove fire stations.
It appeared to be a room and contents fire that was extending into the hallway when firefighters made their interior attack.
Des Plaines and mutual aid fire companies responded for fire in an attached garage on Middleton Court Saturday afternoon. Des Plaines Engine 61 arrived on the scene and confirmed the garage fire. Companies made an aggressive attack as some fire communicated into the house. Engine 61 was on a hydrant in the cul-de-sac. Interior companies reported fire at the top of the stairs on the second floor and in the attic.
Des Plaines was assisted by Prospect Heights, Mount Prospect, Niles and the North Maine FPD.
