The Northbrook Fire Department received a call this evening reporting a barn fire at 2500 Pfingsten Road at the corner of Highland Road. The first unit on the scene was Glenview Engine 8 who confirmed a working fire in a commercial garage belonging to the Wilson Lawn & Landscape Company. They pulled a line and were soon joined by Northbrook Tower 12 and other Northbrook units. The alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 which brought trucks from Northfield and Glenview, a Lincolnshire-Riverwoods ambulance, and additional Northbrook companies.

As the fire spread throughout the garage, companies pulled back and initiated a defensive attack which included an elevated master stream from Tower Ladder 12.
