Buffalo Grove police and firefighters were called to 134 Golfview Terrace Tuesday afternoon (1/5/21) for a reported house fire. Police officers were first on the scene and said there were flames through the roof. Buffalo Grove Battalion 4 upgraded the alarm to a Code 4 working fire based on the police report. The header was visible from a distance of at least a mile away. Tower Ladder 25 was the first fire company on the scene followed by Arlington Heights Engine 4. The first attack line was taken to the rear and quickly darkened the fire that was burning on the outside of the house. A second line went inside.

Multiple firefighters from across Sheboygan County, Wisconsin responded to a 3-alarm house fire early Christmas morning on Blueberry Lane south of the Village of Waldo. Firefighters not only battled the blaze but the cold weather as well. The temperature at 1 AM was 11° and the wild chill was -4°F. No injuries were reported.

Arlington Heights firefighters were sent to the Christian Church of Arlington Heights at 333 W Thomas Street Sunday afternoon for an activated fire alarm. Companies arrived to find heavy fire inside the building and the alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 working fire. The fire was extinguished within 10 minutes. Smoke was visible from separate areas of the building and companies had trouble pulling interior ceiling that were wood so Buffalo Grove and Arlington Heights firefighters were sent to the roof to ventilate.
Arlington Heights units were assisted by firefighters from Buffalo Grove, Mount Prospect, Palatine, and Rolling Meadows plus a Prospect Heights battalion chief.

Multiple fire departments responded to a massive house fire on Burning Tree Circle in McHenry that was fully engulfed by fire when crews arrived. High winds added to the power of the fire. An investigation into the cause of the fire is underway.
The homeowner, who was home at the time, was not injured. The house is considered a total loss.
