Video from the 2-Alarm fire in Long Grove (IL) 9/16/16

Glencoe (IL) firefighters were called to 986 Skokie Ridge Drive around 8:30PM on Friday night (9/4/15) for smoke in the house. The alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 for the working fire on arrival and then to a Box Alarm for additional companies within 10 minutes. The fire was located in the basement and the walls at the rear of the house. There were no reported injuries. Here are some images and a brief video.

Arrived about 15 minutes into this job and was greeted with fire venting from the roof. Companies made the attic and hit the fire from below in pretty short order. Some items of interest … note the positioning of truck 55, some call this beaching … seemed to work very well here. Also note the ground ladder placement covering all sides of the structure. The images of squad 7 are of the same rig used in the show Chicago Fire. The 7 on the door looks like a good tape job to me and makes me think they’re gonna have this rig for a while. An interesting job in a normally very quiet area.

Buffalo Grove firefighters were called to 1062 Harvard Lane in the early morning hours of September 6th for smoke in the house. The area had been hit hard earlier in the day by a fast moving storm that knocked out power to many homes including this one. Thick black smoke met the first arriving companies who quickly found a small fire in the basement, but not before the entire house was charged with smoke. Here are a few images and a short video from the scene

A family was displaced by a fire that destroyed their south side Sheboygan (WI) home late Saturday night.

The Sheboygan Fire Department started receiving numerous 911 calls reporting a fire at 1540 Ohio Avenue just before midnight. When firefighters arrived, they found heavy smoke and fire showing from the home. The family and pets exited the home before firefighters arrived on scene.

The entire Sheboygan Fire Department responded to the scene which includes 5 stations in the city.
