This from the Prospect Heights Fire District:
At 14:42 hours on 8/29/17, Prospect Heights companies were dispatched for a crash at the intersection of Wildwood Drive West and Stonegate West. RED Center reported an auto had collided with a school bus. Chief 901 arrived and reported an occupied school bus was off the road and the auto had heavy damage and was still occupied. The initial dispatch was upgraded to a pin-in response and two additional ambulances were sent by RED Center based on reports from callers. PH companies used a Hurst eDraulics tool to open one door. A9 and A39 each transported patients. A23 and Tanker 9 evaluated all the bus passengers; none were injured. The school principal reported to the scene and took possession of the children who were transferred to another bus. No other hazards were present. Companies on scene: A9, A39, E9, Tanker 9 (was on the air for drill), Wheeling A23, 901, and 900.

Battalion 9 arrived with smoke showing from the attached garage of a ranch house and upgraded the alarm to a Code 4 for the working fire. Companies made entry and found the source was debris burning in the garage. After checking for extension, the Code 4 units were subsequently released.

Excerpts from the DailyHerald.com:
Residents in parts of Mount Prospect and Prospect Heights can expect quicker responses to emergencies after the two communities’ fire departments set aside long-standing differences this week to forge a new mutual aid agreement.
The deal, ratified this week by the Mount Prospect village board and Prospect Heights Fire Protection District, is the first between the two in five years. Such deals lay out when and where one department would respond to an emergency in the other’s jurisdiction.
“There was, I guess you would say, a difference of opinion,” Prospect Heights Fire Chief Donald Gould said. “We withdrew from the (previous) agreement, and now there is some new administration.”
The key point of dispute over the years, Gould said, concerned what part of each community an agreement should cover and he said the new agreement should mean faster response times.
“Some of the area of Mount Prospect is actually almost right across the street from our fire station (at Camp McDonald and Route 83),” he said.
Mount Prospect Fire Chief Brian Lambel told the village board Tuesday that he began reviewing agreements with neighboring communities when he took over as interim chief last summer. Since then, department representatives have met with the Elk Grove, Elk Grove Township, Des Plaines and Prospect Heights departments.
Lambel said that one area where he believed improved coverage is needed is the north side of the village, which borders Prospect Heights.
The new agreement came about after regular meetings between Mount Prospect Deputy Chief John Dolan and Prospect Heights Deputy Chief Drew Smith. Those laid the groundwork for Mount Prospect firefighters joining their peers from Prospect Heights and Arlington Heights in training exercises, and ultimately the aid agreement.
The deal is expected to improve fire response in neighborhoods near Camp McDonald and Elmhurst roads, as well as between Wolf and River roads, north of Kensington Road.
