Machine fire in Buffalo Grove 1-11-12

On what was otherwise a peaceful and slow day, Larry Shapiro headed to a fire at an industrial facility located at 1010 Johnson Drive in Buffalo Grove. Emergency crews were called after reports of smoke inside the building. Upon arrival, they found the premises evacuated and thick smoke filling the interior. A machine inside the building had sparked a fire that ignited some filters, prompting the need for additional resources. Northbrook Tower Ladder 12 was dispatched as a second unit, while local Buffalo Grove companies worked quickly to contain the blaze. Firefighters from Engine 26 deployed a single line to knock down the flames, and the fire was under control within minutes.
