2-Alarm fire in Island Lake, 11-11-14

The Chicago Tribune has an article about last night’s 2-Alarm fire for the Wauconda Fire District:

A fire caused extensive damaged to a Sikh temple in the far northwest suburbs.

Firefighters were called to the Guru Nanak Sikh Mission temple at 217 W. State Road in Island Lake at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday [to answer an automatic alarm] according to Wauconda Fire District officials. Firefighters arrived to see smoke “billowing from the building,” said Wacounda Fire Chief David Dato.

At first, firefighters were able to battle the blaze from inside the building but as flames spread, crews had to take a defensive position, Dato said.

Firefighters put out the blaze just after midnight, and no injuries were reported, officials said.

Fire officials said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms as well as the Illinois state fire marshal’s office will investigate because the structure housed a place of worship.

Box Alarm fire in Skokie 12-10-13

This from Steve Redick:

Last night, 7661 Marmora…single digit temps. This was a campus that housed challenged adults at one time…I don’t believe it has this use anymore. It is on a cul de sac and the hydrant near the building is on a dead end main I’m told. They had some long lead outs for additional water. The fire was through the roof on arrival, and they had some master streams working in short order. These are the first shots I was able to get of their new engine 17. Ice and extreme cold were definitely factors at this fire. This building appeared larger than some of the cottage types, leading me to believe it may have been used as some sort of admin center. perhaps some list members can clarify this for us…I would also like to say bright blue mars lights on a rig ruin a lot of photos  😉  did some black and white experimenting on some of those images
