Slow-Motion Video of Lightning from Long Grove House Fire Scene on Stayton Ln Sunday Night
... #ad▼VIDEO: Slow motion cloud-to-cloud lightning from a main storm just to the south of a fire scene in the 2200 block of Stayton Lane, Long Grove.
Buffalo Grove firefighters had just backed their Quint 27 into the driveway of a luxury home driveway in the 2200 block of Stayton Lane in Long Grove, Illinois to inspect the roof following a fire caused by lightning. The smaller ladder truck is a specialized ladder truck that is equipped for this type of work — driveways and tight cul de sacs.
As the the ‘stick’ was about to be raised and a firefighter turned on the right flood light equipped on the trucks main ladder, a bright display of cloud-to-cloud lightning was displayed in the southwest sky. Later more cloud-to-cloud lightning filled the sky as firefighters were on the ladder at the peak of the roof.
