3-Alarm fire in Buffalo Grove, 3-8-25 (more)

More on the 3-Alarm fire in Buffalo Grove, 3-8-25 from Dan McInerney:

Here are some pics from the 3-Alarm fire yesterday in Buffalo Grove at 321 Le Parc Circle. I got there after the bulk of the fire was knocked down, but the wind kicked up and made things interesting for a bit, but it never really took off again. As seen, Northbrook Tower 12 was downwind and in the thick of it, the members eventually donned their SCBA’s and kept the fire from spreading to the east.
