Arlington Heights police and firefighters were called to 209 LaSalle Street late Wednesday night (March 20, 2019) after reports of a house fire. Upon arrival, officers noticed flames coming from the garage. The first engine on scene confirmed the fire and reported heavy flames on the rear of the structure, affecting both the first and second floors. Firefighters quickly deployed lines to the garage and the back of the building.
As the incident unfolded, a water main rupture occurred in the parkway, two houses west of the hydrant being used by Engine 4. This disruption forced Engine 3 to lay a supply line from a different hydrant on an alternate main to support firefighting efforts. Meanwhile, Arlington Heights Engine 2 was operating from a hydrant at the opposite end of the block, supplying Tower 1 and Palatine Quint 83. Buffalo Grove Tower 25 arrived on scene and was assigned as the Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) company.
The response involved multiple fire engines and ladder trucks, showcasing the coordinated effort between local departments. Several Pierce brand apparatus, including the Quantum and Velocity models, were seen actively working at the scene. A tower ladder unit, the Pierce Dash CF PUC, was also observed in action, with firefighters using the bucket to assist in controlling the fire.
Photos from the scene captured the intensity of the blaze and the emergency vehicles involved. The images, taken by Larry Shapiro, highlight the scale of the operation and the dedication of the responding crews. Despite the challenges posed by the ruptured water main, crews managed to contain the fire and prevent further damage.
This incident serves as a reminder of the critical role that emergency responders play in protecting lives and property. Their quick actions and teamwork were essential in managing the situation effectively.
