The Glenview Fire Department was notified by a resident that the house at 1531 Maple Street was on fire. Companies arrived and reported smoke from the attic and upgraded the alarm to a Code 4 (working fire). Glenview was at the scene with four engines, two ambulances, the truck, and three chief officers. Mutual aid was an engine from Northfield, a truck from Niles, a squad from Morton Grove, and the Northbrook battalion chief.

The truck went to ventilate the roof and two lines were used from Engine 8. The fire was extinguished with 15 minutes of the upgrade and damage to the home was not extensive. Here are several images from Larry Shapiro.
