Wheeling house fire 7-23-14

This is from Larry Shapiro:

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

An ambulance transported the injured individual to a local hospital, and the incident was upgraded to a working fire. Firefighters used two interior lines to quickly bring the flames under control. The response was swift and coordinated, with multiple units from neighboring areas also arriving on scene.

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. The firefighters worked efficiently to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading further.

Here are some images and a short video capturing the scene:
