Working fire in Schaumburg, 12-4-22

This from Larry Shapiro:

Schaumburg firefighters were dispatched to a commercial building fire in an auto body repair shop shortly after 6PM on Sunday evening (12-4-22) at 841 W Wise Road, a block from Schaumburg Station 53. Police reported 20-foot flames in the rear of the building which firefighters confirmed on arrival. The alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 working fire bringing all of the Schaumburg companies to the scene in addition to an engine and ambulance from Roselle. Change of quarters companies from several area departments were sent to Schaumburg stations.

The fire was actually in a dumpster/garbage area in the rear of the building which resulted in some communication into the building’s roof. Companies had the fire out within 10 minutes but worked for over an hour checking for extension and hitting hotspots. The corrected address was 857 W Wise Road.

The Hanover Township Emergency Services also responded to the scene with support units and lighting.

3-Alarm fire in Glendale Heights, 8-24-20

This from Steve Redick:

I took in the Glendale Heights extra alarm. I saw a big column of smoke most of the way there but because it is such a long run it was all over when I arrived. Limited access to more than half the building and a heavy volume of fire were some of the issues. I understand there were two fatalities.

I had a great opportunity to get a lot of nice apparatus shots.

Working fire in Schaumburg, 7/8/16

This from Larry Shapiro:

Schaumburg firefighters were called to 809 Holyoke Court Friday morning (7/8/16) for a fire in the laundry room of a split-level house. Smoke was pushing from the lower level window as the first units arrived prompting an upgrade to a Code 4 working fire. When firefighters made entry they found that the fire was contained to one room and made quick work of extinguishing the fire and ventilating smoke. Additional companies were returned.

As an aside, in March of 2011, Schaumburg companies battled a fully-involved house fire across the street that went to a Box Alarm.
