Box Alarm fire in Prospect Heights, 8-25-22

On Thursday at 1:00 PM, firefighters from Prospect Heights and Wheeling were called to a fire at 818 Old Willow Road. The RED Center received multiple emergency calls with voices in the background and quickly escalated the situation to a "Working Fire" shortly after the initial dispatch. Prospect Heights Chief 900 was the first on scene and reported heavy smoke and flames coming from the roof of a two-story multi-unit apartment building, with several residents evacuating the area. Fire crews initiated an interior attack and discovered intense fire within the structure, particularly behind an interior wall. The incident was then upgraded to a MABAS Box Alarm to bring in more personnel for assistance. Des Plaines Tower 61 was deployed to ventilate the roof. Notably, Des Plaines FD Tower 61 has been operating alongside Northbrook FD Tower 12 as part of a reserve unit for several months and was seen in front of the burning building during the response. Approximately six units were damaged due to the fire, water from firefighting efforts, or checks for fire spread. However, the Prospect Heights Building Department determined that the entire building was temporarily unsafe for all residents. The incident involved a large number of responding units, including Prospect Heights Engine 39, Squad 9, Engine 900, and Battalion 9; Wheeling Ambulance 24, Engine 23, Truck 24, Engine 2400, Engine 2401, and Battalion 24; Mount Prospect Ambulance 14 and 301; Des Plaines Tower 61; Glenview Engine 8; North Maine Engine 1 and Battalion 1; Niles Truck 2; Long Grove Squad 55; Buffalo Grove Engine 26; and Northbrook Tower 12. Several photos captured the scene by photographer Larry Shapiro are available, showing the intensity of the fire and the efforts of the responding crews. The images provide a visual record of the event, highlighting the smoke, fire, and the coordinated response from multiple departments.
