Northbrook Fire Department news

Excerpts from foxnews.com:

Nearly 100 cats and dogs were rescued from a Northbrook home that caught fire on Monday, and now they need homes. When fire crews responded to the house fire, they discovered 43 dogs and 48 cats living in deplorable conditions.

Once the situation was uncovered, animal control was there by 10 p.m, and crews worked until 3 a.m., By 7 a.m., animal control workers contacted a dog shelter that accepted all 43 dogs, most of which had some type of issue.

They could not take the 48 cats that were found living in the home.

The dogs are all Chihuahuas and weigh between five and nine pounds, though one was 17 pounds and considered to be the mom. Many of the other dogs had fleas and skin, hair, and dental problems. All the dogs will need to be spayed and neutered, and once adopted, will require microchips.

The endeavor of taking on 43 dogs though is a costly one. Costs could be about $25,000 to get the dogs the care they need while also ensuring they have a roof over their heads and staff to care for them.

Border Tails Rescue is funded through donations and adoption fees. To help pay for the care of the 43 new tenants, they are accepting donations on Facebook. The organization hopes to bring in $21,500.

House fire near Northbrook, 4-8-22

Firefighters from Northbrook, Wheeling, Prospect Heights, Glenview, and Deerfield responded to a house fire at 4085 Evergreen Lane in an unincorporated area off of Sanders Road by the I294 tollway. The call came in shortly after midnight (4/8/22) reporting smoke inside the residence and walls that were hot after the resident used the fireplace. Two occupants when outside with firefighters arrived but responding companies were notified by RED Center that a handicapped individual was unable to self evacuate. Northbrook Engine 10 reported smoke showing on arrival and the crew from Ambulance 10 got a wheelchair-bound resident out of the house.

There was visible fire reported on the exterior of the house which was extinguished by firefighters from Prospect Heights Engine 39. There are no hydrants in this sub division and a supply line was stretched from a hydrant at the entrance off of Sanders Road to Northbrook Squad 11, which then pumped in-line to Engine 10.
