A fire broke out in an attached garage on Schoenbeck Road in Prospect Heights around 2:30 PM today. When the first units arrived at 410 N. Schoenbeck Road, they found heavy fire in the garage that had already spread to the two-story home. Since this area lacks hydrants, the initial response included a 3,000-gallon tanker, two engine companies, a battalion chief, and an ambulance. Additional resources were also dispatched, including an engine from Wheeling, an ambulance from Mt. Prospect, and a second tanker from Long Grove.
Firefighters quickly deployed hand lines to attack the fire in the garage. As the blaze intensified, it moved into the attic and a second-floor bedroom. The fire was upgraded to a Code 4, bringing more resources such as a tower ladder from Prospect Heights, an engine from Mt. Prospect, a third tanker from Palatine Rural, and additional ambulances and support units.
As the fire spread through the roof, firefighters inside worked to contain the flames while others ventilated the second-floor windows. A MABAS Box Alarm was called, bringing even more assistance, including a tower ladder from Buffalo Grove, a squad from Deerfield, and multiple engines from surrounding areas.
Prospect Heights Engine 9 used its 750-gallon tank along with the 3,000 gallons from Tanker 9. Long Grove Tanker 55 also contributed its full 3,000 gallons before a secure water supply was established via a hydrant over 2,500 feet away. Firefighters worked tirelessly to bring the fire under control, and the occupants of the home managed to escape safely. Unfortunately, the family dog did not survive.
Photographers Tim Olk and Larry Shapiro captured several key moments of the incident. Their images show firefighters working in challenging conditions, battling the fire from multiple angles, and later conducting overhaul to ensure the fire was fully extinguished.
