Buffalo Grove police officers and firefighters were dispatched to the intersection of Dundee Road and Arlington Heights Road Monday evening (7/31/23) for a child on a bicycle that was trapped underneath a van. Once on scene the incident was upgraded to an entrapment response for additional personnel. Firefighters from Buffalo Grove and Arlington Heights raised the van from the victim’s leg and removed the child who was conscious.

Palatine firefighters were dispatched for a detached garage fire at 629 Hill Road in an unincorporated Cook County surrounded by Palatine. Multiple neighbors reported heavy fire and the homeowner couldn’t find her daughter or husband. Responding companies reported a large header and the incident was upgraded to a Code 4 working fire. Upon arrival, Engine 81 had a two-story house with an attached garage that was well-involved.
They stretched a 2-1/2 inch line and the next engine took a second line to the C-D corner that had heavy fire as well. Another line was stretched into the house as the fire had spread inside. The daughter was on the second floor and was unable to exit due to the heavy smoke. Firefighters brought her outside and found no other occupants inside.
The fire was contained within approximately 20 minutes with the house sustaining significant damage.
