On August 26, 2020, firefighters and police from Buffalo Grove responded to a house fire at 25 Dellmont Court. Upon arrival, first responders noticed flames coming from the roof vent of a two-story single-family home. The incident was quickly escalated to a Code 4 working fire, followed by a MABAS Box Alarm to bring in more resources. Firefighters advanced several lines into the structure but faced challenges accessing the attic due to the intense heat and smoke.
As the fire spread, it self-vented through the rear of the house, sending thick smoke and flames out of the back. An exterior line was deployed to control the fire before crews could make another interior attack. Due to the extreme conditions, the alarm was later upgraded to a second alarm to provide additional personnel and equipment.
Two firefighters were treated on-site for heat-related injuries and transported to a local hospital. The response involved multiple units from Buffalo Grove, including two engines and the Long Grove Tanker 55, which operated from hydrants. Mutual aid came from departments across the region, including Long Grove, Prospect Heights, Wheeling, Palatine, Countryside, Libertyville Lake Forest, Grayslake, Highland Park, Schaumburg, Mount Prospect, Deerfield, Northbrook, Lake Villa, Lake Zurich, Hoffman Estates, and Winnetka.
Photos from the scene show firefighters battling the blaze, with one image capturing a quint and another showing a hose line in action. The incident highlights the coordinated efforts of emergency responders in dealing with a challenging residential fire.
