This is from Larry Shapiro:

A Prospect Heights homeowner called around 6:20 PM to report smoke coming from their home at 415 Cherry Creek Lane. Since this address is on the northern edge of the Prospect Heights Fire Protection District, the first unit to arrive was Arlington Heights Engine 4. They found light smoke and immediately pulled a line. Within minutes, Prospect Heights units responded, including Engine 39, Squad 9, Tanker 9, and Battalion 9.

The house is located in a cul-de-sac at the end of the street, an area without nearby fire hydrants. Long Grove Tanker 55 was also en route as part of the Code 3 automatic aid dispatch, along with Wheeling Engine 23 and Battalion 24, plus Palatine Ambulance 83. The alarm was quickly upgraded to a Code 4 for a working fire, bringing in Northbrook Tower 12, Palatine Rural Tanker 36, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Squad 51, Glenview Ambulance 8, and Mt. Prospect Engine 14.

Before Engine 4 used their 500-gallon tank, Tanker 9 provided water from its 3,000-gallon tank, which was soon supplemented by another 3,000 gallons from Tanker 55. The nearest hydrant was across Hintz Road in Wheeling, about half a mile away. As the water supply was being established, Squad 9 laid 1,500 feet of 5-inch hose, and Engine 39 added another 700 feet. Because the supply line crossed Hintz Road, the police department activated an ILEAS Box Alarm to bring in additional units from Mt. Prospect, Arlington Heights, Wheeling, and Northbrook.

Firefighters made an interior attack on the fire, which was reported to be in a closet and had spread to multiple levels of the attic. Heavy smoke was visible from the ridge vent, windows, and eaves. A vent hole was cut in the roof over the garage, allowing heavy fire to escape.

The alarm was upgraded to a Box Alarm as conditions worsened. Additional units included a quint from Palatine, a tower ladder from Buffalo Grove, a Deerfield squad, a Morton Grove squad operating as Niles Service Truck 2, a tanker from Elk Grove Township, engines from Des Plaines and North Maine. Chief officers arriving on various alarms included Niles Battalion 2 (for North Maine Battalion 1), Glenview Battalion 6, Northbrook 1100, Wheeling 2400, and Long Grove 5500, along with Prospect Heights Chiefs 900 and 901.

Interior crews managed to contain the fire, preventing the need for an evacuation or a defensive operation. Most of the box alarm companies were not required.
