Thursday morning brought an unexpected call to the Wheeling Fire Department, reporting a mysterious smoke odor in one unit of a three-unit townhouse located on Kingswood Lane. Responders quickly arrived at 303 Kingswood Lane to discover a small fire within one of the walls. It turned out that workers had been sweating pipes in the affected unit, inadvertently causing the fire to ignite and begin spreading up the wall into the adjacent unit. As firefighters scrambled to contain the situation, the severity of the incident prompted an upgrade to a Code 4 status for an active fire. In response, units from Buffalo Grove Tower 25, Northbrook Engine 10, and Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Ambulance 52 were dispatched to assist the Wheeling teams on site.
Firefighters acted swiftly, managing to bring the flames under control before they could spread any further. Wheeling Tower 42 ascended to the roof in the ‘A’ sector, executing essential roof ventilation. Meanwhile, Buffalo Grove Tower 25 approached the building from the ‘B-C’ corner on the adjacent street, also making its way to the roof to assist in managing the situation. Additional efforts included clearing attic vents and cutting a ventilation hole to ensure proper airflow, crucial steps in containing the fire’s progression.
Engine 42 played a pivotal role by deploying two water lines into the structure, further aiding in extinguishing the blaze. Photographer Larry Shapiro captured several compelling images of the operation, offering a detailed glimpse into the coordinated efforts of the firefighters.

The swift actions of the firefighters and their strategic coordination undoubtedly prevented what could have become a far more serious situation. Their dedication and teamwork highlight the importance of preparedness and collaboration among emergency services in such scenarios.
