2-Alarm building fire in Northbrook 7-1-13

The Northbrook Fire Department responded to a reported fire in a third-floor apartment behind Station 11 at 620 Ballantree Drive just after 6 PM on Monday evening. Initial reports from police suggested it was a barbecue grill on a deck, but firefighters quickly discovered flames inside the unit on the third floor. The incident was upgraded to a Code 4, indicating a working fire, and multiple fire companies entered the building. Shortly after their arrival, conditions worsened, forcing an evacuation order. Smoke began to push out of the structure, and a flashover occurred, prompting the activation of a MABAS Box Alarm as crews transitioned to a defensive position. The initial response included Northbrook Engines 11 and 10, Ambulance 11, Battalion 11, Tower 12, and Glencoe Engine 30. The Code 4 brought additional resources such as Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Ambulance 52 and Northfield Truck 29. The MABAS Box Alarm added Glenview Truck 14, Wheeling Engine 42, Winnetka Engine 28, Prospect Heights Squad 9, and Highland Park Quint 33, along with units for shift changes. A second alarm was called shortly after the box alarm, bringing in Highwood Truck 37, Deerfield Engine 20, Morton Grove Squad 4, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Truck 53, the Division Communications Van, and several senior officers. The building’s mansard roof concealed significant fire activity, requiring extensive ventilation efforts to fully extinguish the flames. Firefighters from Engines 11 and 32 used deck guns, while Tower 12 and Truck 14 deployed elevated master streams. At least three hand lines were also in operation during the firefight. Tim Olk arrived with the first-due units, and Larry Shapiro followed after the box alarm was called. Both photographers captured numerous images, and a video from Larry is expected to be released soon. Here are some of the photos submitted by Larry Shapiro:
