Sep 30

Posted by Admin in Crash scene photos, crash scene video | No Comments

Buffalo Grove police and fire departments were dispatched for an accident with entrapment Monday morning in the parking lot of the immediate care center at Lake-Cook Road and Weiland Road. The report detailed a vehicle that was upside down and wedged between trees. Arriving units found the vehicle on it’s side in a wooded area along the south edge of the parking lot with the occupant inside.

Firefighters worked to stabilize the vehicle and assess the driver who was conscious. They were able to remove the patient from the car after opening a portion of the roof.

Fatal fire in Buffalo Grove, 7-22-24

Jul 22

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos | Comments off

This from Larry Shapiro:

Buffalo Grove police and firefighters responded to a garage fire at 10:30 this morning at 630 Woodhollow Lane. A header was visible as companies left quarters. Upon arrival, crews had heavy fire blowing out of the garage that communicated into the house and the alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 working fire. They were informed that a person, last known to be in the garage, was unaccounted for. Firefighters attacked the fire and made entry to conduct a search. They encountered heavy fire and high heat, and were able to knock down the bulk of the fire within about 30 minutes. The missing person did not survive the fire.

Buffalo Grove was assisted by Long Grove, Arlington Heights, Libertyville, Linolnshire-Riverwoods, Lake Forest, and Wheeling. During the fire, a water main broke down the block and began to flood the adjoining street.
