House fire in Buffalo Grove, 4-14-25

Apr 14

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos | 1 Comment

Firefighters from Buffalo Grove and Arlington Heights were dispatched to 305 Timber Hill Road after 4PM on Monday (4/14/25) for a reported fire. Police officers arrived first and confirmed smoke and flames on the side of the house, and the alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 working fire. Arlington Heights Engine 4 was the first suppression unit at the scene and pulled a line initiating an attack and secured a hydrant. Buffalo Grove Tower 25 approached from the opposite direction and dropped 300′ of 5″ hose for their own supply. Two lines from Engine 4 and another from the tower were used as the fire spread into the attic.

The fire was extinguished within 20 minutes. Additional companies at the scene came from Wheeling, Palatine, the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods and Long Grove fire districts plus change of quarters companies.
