Wheeling house fire 7-23-14

This is from Larry Shapiro:

Residents called the Wheeling Fire Department on Wednesday evening, reporting an explosion in the kitchen of a home at 293 Lincoln Road. When the first officer arrived, he noticed smoke coming from the house and reported that one person required medical attention. Firefighters arrived within minutes and confirmed a fire inside the split-level home.

A local ambulance transported the injured individual to a nearby hospital, and the incident was upgraded to a working fire. Two interior lines were quickly deployed to contain and extinguish the flames efficiently.

Fire units from Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, and Northbrook joined the effort, along with two fire engines, two ambulances, a ladder truck, and two chief officers from Wheeling.

Here are some photos and a short video capturing the scene.
