*Immediate Release*
January 26, 2022
PROSPECT HEIGHTS — On Wednesday evening, January 26, at approximately 7:48 p.m., the Prospect Heights Fire Protection District received a call about a fire at a residence located at 108 Patricia Street in Prospect Heights.
Upon arriving at the scene, firefighters discovered that the fire had originated in the attic of a two-story home. Thick smoke was billowing from every side of the roof, but fortunately, the flames had not yet spread into the interior of the house. Within minutes, the first responding engine had successfully doused the initial blaze with a hose stream. Following this, crews shifted their focus to addressing the fire that had spread further into the roof and attic area. Concurrently, a thorough search of the home was conducted to confirm that all occupants were safely outside. Thanks to the swift efforts of the firefighting teams, the fire was fully under control and extinguished just 20 minutes after their arrival. The operation involved multiple pieces of equipment, including two hose lines and over a dozen fire apparatus units. A total of approximately 40 firefighters participated in the response. After extinguishing the flames, crews spent nearly an hour meticulously checking for any remaining hotspots or signs of fire spread to ensure the fire was completely out.
Assistance was provided by several neighboring departments and fire districts, including those from Des Plaines, Glenview, Mount Prospect, and Libertyville, as well as the Elk Grove Township, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, and Long Grove fire protection districts. In addition to the Prospect Heights Fire Protection District and the Wheeling Fire Department, these agencies played a crucial role in ensuring the fire was managed effectively.
The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The Prospect Heights Fire Protection District would like to remind residents to always have two clear escape routes from their homes, ensure that smoke alarms are installed and functioning properly, and develop an emergency plan in case of a fire or Other disaster. It's also worth noting that fire sprinklers can significantly reduce risks to life and property. If this building had been equipped with sprinklers, the fire might have been contained or even extinguished entirely before the arrival of the fire department, potentially preventing its spread.
