CODE 4: 3699 CUBA RD
Thu 03/31/2016 @ 21:46
The incident started as a brush fire reported by the police. When Long Grove Fire Department arrived, they found a fully involved, vacant one-story building after driving down a long driveway. The call was upgraded to a Code 4. They immediately took a defensive approach to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby trees and dense brush. Later, it was upgraded to a Box Alarm, with only tenders responding.
- Three lines were deployed: Two 2½-inch and one 1¾-inch lines. One of the 2½-inch lines was later switched to a Blitzfire portable master stream during the fire.
- Tender 56 served as the attack pumper.
- Prospect Heights Tanker 9 was the first mutual aid unit and provided water to Tender 56.
- Palatine Rural Tanker 36 was the second mutual aid tanker and also assisted in operations.
- Palatine Engine 82 backed into the driveway and pumped water from Cuba Road to Prospect Heights Tanker 9.
