Fire scene on Grove Drive in Buffalo Grove immediately after firefighters quickly put out a serious fire that was contained to one unit.
Buffalo Grove Fire Department responded to a report of a fire in a bed in the 700 block of Grove Drive about 1:00 p.m. Tuesday. Responding firefighters reported smoke showing well before they arrived on the scene as they approached on Dundee Road. An Arlington Heights Fire Department engine company, which is automatically due to the affected building and a Buffalo Grove Fire Department fire engine were first on the scene. Firefighters reported flames showing out the windows upon arrival. Those two fire units performed a quick knockdown of the fire.
