Box Alarm in Northbrook, 7-15-15
This morning (July 15, 2015), Northbrook-based firefighting teams responded to a report of heavy smoke coming from the roof of a commercial building located at 1840 Raymond Drive. The building measures approximately 100 feet by 200 feet and is a single-story structure. Upon arrival, crews quickly determined that the situation warranted an upgrade to a Box Alarm, indicating a more serious emergency. Firefighters deployed three different lines to tackle the blaze, which had spread through the building's ductwork, making the situation particularly challenging.
The fire proved to be quite intense, requiring extensive overhaul efforts once it was under control. The scene was captured in several photos taken by Tim Olk, showing Northbrook firefighters hard at work and thick plumes of smoke rising from the commercial building’s roof. These images provide a vivid snapshot of the effort and dedication involved in managing such incidents.
Here are some additional details from the site:
- **Building Size:** The affected building spans 20,000 square feet, making the task of containing the fire even more demanding.
- **Fire Spread:** The fire spread rapidly through the ductwork, which complicated the firefighting process and required careful coordination among the crews.
- **Community Response:** Residents nearby reported seeing the smoke from a distance, highlighting the visible impact of the incident on the local area.
These photographs not only document the immediate response but also serve as a reminder of the critical role firefighters play in protecting our communities. Their quick action undoubtedly helped prevent further damage and ensured the safety of those in the vicinity.
I'll keep you updated if any new developments arise regarding this incident or others in the area.
