Excerpts from cbsnews.com:
A house in Buffalo Grove burned for the second time in as many years overnight Wednesday, after firefighters were called at 10:30 p.m. for the fire at 2112 Brandywyn Ln.
Crews arrived to find the second story of the vacant house engulfed in flames with heat threatening the houses on either side.
Firefighters worked to extinguish the fire while also protecting neighboring homes. The fire was out in about half an hour with help from neighboring municipalities’ fire departments.
The second floor of the house collapsed, and the neighboring homes on both sides had their vinyl siding melt due to the heat.
The house had a fire in August 2022. That fire displaced the family living there and left the house uninhabitable. It had been vacant ever since.
The first fire was caused by candles left burning in the house. The cause of the second fire remained under investigation late Thursday.
Buffalo Grove firefighters were called to 691 Checker Road at 8:30 Sunday evening (3-12-23) for a reported fire in a second floor bedroom. While en route, companies were advised by NWCD that a neighbor reported fire on the roof, and then another reported fire on the side of the house. Upon arrival, Battalion 4 reported heavy fire and requested the Code 4 upgrade. Buffalo Grove companies worked from the exterior and then the interior to knockdown the fire while performing searches throughout. They were assisted at the scene by units from Long Grove, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, Wheeling, Arlington Heights, Northbrook, and Buffalo Grove EMA with MobileComm.

From Buffalo Grove Professional Firefighters and Paramedics Local 3177:
Black shift made a great save on a very hot day yesterday. Companies were met by heavy fire from the garage which you can see in the images. Engine 26 made an aggressive attack which likely saved the rest of the house. Great work by everyone!
