Working fire in Buffalo Grove, 12-30-14

    This is from Larry Shapiro:

    On the late evening of December 30th, the Buffalo Grove Fire Department received a call about a small fire that had been extinguished outside a townhouse unit at 211 Winding Oak Lane. Engine 26 was dispatched to investigate and confirm that the fire was under control. However, upon arrival, firefighters discovered that the fire had spread beneath the rear sliding door and into the crawlspace of the unit.

    The situation escalated quickly, and the alarm was upgraded from an investigation to a full working fire response. Additional crews from Arlington Heights, Long Grove, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, Palatine, and Wauconda were called in to assist. The entire flooring of the unit was removed to expose the crawlspace and ensure the fire was fully contained within that single unit.

    Firefighters worked diligently through the night, using tools like saws to cut through the floorboards and access the hidden fire. Multiple units were involved, with specialized equipment such as the Ferrara tower ladder being deployed to help manage the situation. Smoke and heat could be seen rising from the area, and firefighters were seen moving supplies, operating hoses, and working closely together to bring the fire under control.

    Throughout the operation, the focus remained on safety and containment, ensuring that no other units were affected. The incident highlights the importance of quick response and teamwork in emergency situations.
