It was just after 7:30 AM on a Friday when the Northbrook Fire Department received several calls reporting thick smoke pouring out of a vacant house located at 1017 Shermer Road. By the time the first responding units arrived, they discovered that the source of the smoke was a fire raging in the basement of the single-story ranch-style home. The situation was quickly escalated to a Code 4, indicating an active fire requiring immediate attention. Mutual aid was called in from neighboring towns like Glencoe and Northfield to provide additional support.
Once the flames were under control, an investigator's box alarm was triggered, summoning fire investigators from surrounding Division 3 departments to help Northbrook determine the exact cause of the blaze. Tim Olk, who arrived with the initial response team, managed to capture some compelling images of the scene during the chaos.
The first responders faced significant challenges as they navigated through dense smoke while attempting to locate the origin of the fire. In one image, you can see firefighters working diligently to ventilate the roof, while another shows a colleague focused on removing the front door to gain access inside. Another photograph highlights how a hose line was finally directed into the basement via a window after the roof had been successfully cleared.
Despite these efforts, the intensity of the fire made it necessary for the truck company to retreat temporarily from the roof before continuing their mission. Throughout this process, teamwork and coordination were crucial as each member played a vital role in ensuring everyone's safety and minimizing damage.

These photographs not only document the bravery and skill of our local firefighters but also serve as reminders of why preparedness and vigilance remain essential aspects of community safety.
