Late Sunday evening, during a fierce storm, the Glenview 9-1-1 center received numerous calls reporting a fire at an apartment building located at 2700 Summit Drive. Responding units arrived to find smoke and flames erupting from the roof of the four-story L-shaped structure. The initial response included Glenview Engines 6 and 13, Battalion 6, Ambulance 6, Glenview Truck 14 (which was operating with Engine 8R), and Northfield Truck 29. Upon their arrival, the alarm was escalated to a Code 4, prompting additional resources including Glenview Engine 8, Glenview Ambulance 7, Northbrook Truck 12, and Morton Grove Squad 4. Interestingly, Northbrook Truck 12 had been en route to another Code 4 fire in its own district when this call came in.
The photos captured by Tim Olk and Larry Shapiro, who made their way to the scene despite the quick extinguishing of the flames, reveal the extent of the damage. The first truck on the scene was Northfield Truck 29, as Glenview Truck 14 was running with a spare engine, Engine 8R, which offers more storage space for necessary equipment compared to the other reserve engines. Both Northbrook Truck 12 and Glenview Truck 14 managed to direct their aerial ladders to the roof, swiftly containing the fire to the area of origin.
As reported by Larry Shapiro, the fire was brought under control rapidly, with significant damage visible to the roof. The quick response and coordinated efforts of the various fire companies ensured that the blaze did not spread beyond its initial location.

For those interested in the technical aspects, Glenview Engine 6 arrived equipped with the newly acquired Pierce Arrow XT engine, highlighting the department's commitment to modernization and efficiency. Despite the late hour and inclement weather, the collaborative effort between multiple fire districts ensured a swift and effective response, minimizing potential risks and damage.
