On Sunday evening, during a heavy storm after 10 PM, the Glenview 9-1-1 center received multiple calls reporting a fire at 2700 Summit Drive. When emergency crews arrived at the four-story L-shaped apartment building, they found smoke and flames on the roof. The initial response included Glenview Engines 6 and 13, Battalion 6, Ambulance 6, and Glenview Truck 14, which was operating with Engine 8R. Northfield Truck 29 also responded. Upon arrival, the alarm was upgraded to a Code 4, bringing in additional units such as Glenview Engine 8, Glenview Ambulance 7, Northbrook Truck 12, and Morton Grove Squad 4. Notably, Northbrook Truck 12 had just returned from another Code 4 call in their district when this incident occurred.

Both responding fire trucks extended their aerial ladders to the roof, and the fire was swiftly contained to its origin point. Firefighters worked efficiently despite the challenging weather conditions.
Glenview Truck 14 was using Engine 8R, which offers more storage space than other reserve engines, making it better suited for carrying necessary equipment. Larry Shapiro photo
Tim Olk and Larry Shapiro arrived at the scene, though the fire had already been extinguished by the time they got there. Larry has a small collection of photos available here.
