House fire in Wheeling, 9-23-25

Sep 23

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos | 4 Comments

Wheeling, Buffalo Grove, and Prospect Heights firefighters were dispatched for an oven fire at 485 W. Green Drive late Tuesday night, 9-23-25. It was unclear from the initial report whether or not the fire was contained to the oven of the one-story, single-family house. The first unit to arrive was Service Truck 24 with two personnel. They reported a fire and were advancing a line. The battalion chief had flames blowing out a side window and upgraded the response to a working fire plus additional ambulances because the whereabouts of the residents was not initially clear.

The flames were knocked down in short order while Buffalo Grove and Prospect Heights firefighters vented the roof. Mutual aid companies came from Northbrook, Glenview, Mt Prospect, Des Plaines, and Arlington Heights.

This from Eric Haak:

On August 10th, the Gary Fire Department was sent back to the scene of a structure fire they had in the early morning hours to find the structure had communicated to a pallet yard. These are a few images from the defensive portion of the incident. It was a 4th alarm and was eventually brought under control with the use of three aerial master streams and several hand lines

House fire in Glenview, 7-27-22

Jul 27

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

Glenview firefighters were dispatched to 1701 Annapolis Drive in The Glen on Wednesday afternoon (7/27/22) at 3:30PM for a reported house fire. Companies arrived and had flames through the roof of a two-story, single-family house. A primary search of the premises was negative and a defensive attack was initiated that included several handlines in addition to elevated master streams from Glenview Truck 14 and Northbrook Tower 12 in the alley.

Heavy storms passed through the area roughly an hour before this fire was seen and there is the possibility of a lighting strike as the cause. The house had a cedar shake roof.

Companies assisting Glenview at the scene included Northbrook Tower 12, Winnetka Engine 28, Morton Grove Squad 4, Northfield Ambulance 29, and chief officers from the North Maine FPD and Morton Grove.

Arlington Heights firefighters were called to 2142 N Orchid Lane early Sunday evening (11/13/16) for a reported house fire. When companies arrived they had a fire on the second floor and upgraded the alarm to a Code 4 for the working fire. A broken water main and hoarder conditions hampered firefighters who were able to declare the fire under control in under 40 minutes.

This from Larry Shapiro:

Arlington Heights firefighters were notified of smoke coming from a house at 127 N. Evanston Avenue Thursday evening (3/17/16). First arriving units had smoke coming from the split-level house in a cul-de-sac, and the alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 working fire which brought additional Arlington Heights units plus a truck from Mount Prospect and an engine from Prospect Heights.

Companies were able to extinguish the attic fire by gaining access through a scuttle and had the fire out within 20 minutes.

Box alarm in Cicero, 1-11-16

Jan 11

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos | 3 Comments

Cicero companies responded to a reported apartment fire at 1401 51st Court early Monday afternoon. Arriving companies had smoke at the eaves of the three-story, frame, multi-unit building. After companies were forced out of the structure they setup for defensive operations and upgraded to a Box Alarm about 30 minutes later.

Several hand lines were used as well as master streams from Cicero Truck 2, Stickney Truck 1201, and Cicero Truck 1. There was a special call for the Forest Park tower ladder which went into service after Cicero Truck 1 was shut down. All Cicero engines were pumping in addition engines from Stickney and Lyons.

Several photographers were at the scene.
