Working fire in Northbrook, 7-14-14
Monday evening around 10:30, a concerned citizen reached out to the Northbrook Fire Department to report a fire in an abandoned two-story building close to the downtown train station. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered flames engulfing parts of the structure located at 1856 Walters Avenue. The emergency level was promptly escalated to Code 4, indicating an active fire requiring immediate attention.
The first responders on the scene included Northbrook Engines 10 & 11, Squad 12, Tower 12, Ambulance 10, and Battalion 11, along with Glenview Truck 14. As the situation intensified, additional support came from Deerfield Truck 20, Highland Park Squad 34, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Ambulance 52, and Wheeling Engine 42. Working swiftly, the crews managed to contain the main fire from the exterior within minutes before proceeding to search the building thoroughly for any remaining flames or potential occupants.
Due to the extended duration of operations, a Box Alarm was later called in specifically for backup units, ensuring that responding teams could be strategically deployed as needed. Throughout the incident, Tim Olk and Larry Shapiro were present and generously shared their photos documenting the efforts of these brave firefighters.
Attached are several images capturing the intense yet coordinated actions taken by the firefighters.

As always, we extend our gratitude to all first responders who risk their lives daily to keep us safe. Their swift action undoubtedly prevented further damage and ensured no one was harmed during this incident. Let’s continue supporting these heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes every single day!
