Bus fire in Northbrook

    Tim Olk was driving yesterday when he spotted a fire truck heading toward the Metra station on Lake-Cook Road in Northbrook. Curious, he followed the vehicle and arrived just in time to witness a PACE transit bus engulfed in flames. Northbrook Engine 10 was already on the scene, working quickly to contain the fire. The blaze started in the engine compartment of a parked transit bus, causing significant damage. Fortunately, no one was injured. Tim captured several powerful images of the incident, showing firefighters battling the fire and the extent of the destruction.
