On Wednesday afternoon (July 27, 2022), at around 3:30 PM, the Glenview Fire Department received a call about a house fire located at 1701 Annapolis Drive within The Glen neighborhood. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered that the blaze had already spread throughout the roof of a two-story, single-family home. A thorough search of the property found no one inside, and firefighters immediately began a defensive firefighting operation. This involved deploying multiple handlines as well as using elevated master streams from Glenview Truck 14 and Northbrook Tower 12 positioned in the alley behind the house.
The fire erupted shortly after heavy storms moved through the area, and there's speculation that lightning might have been the cause. The house featured a cedar shake roof, which likely contributed to the rapid spread of the flames.
Supporting departments included Northbrook Tower 12, Winnetka Engine 28, Morton Grove Squad 4, Northfield Ambulance 29, and chief officers from the North Maine FPD and Morton Grove. Photographer Larry Shapiro captured several images of the scene, offering a glimpse into the intensity of the firefighting efforts.
As I sit here writing this, I can't help but reflect on how quickly a storm can escalate into something much more dangerous. The firefighters did an incredible job containing the situation, and I'm grateful for their bravery and dedication. It’s moments like these that remind us how vital it is to have trained professionals ready to respond to emergencies like this.
Looking at the photos, you can see the immense effort put forth by all the departments involved. The water streaming from the trucks contrasts sharply with the charred remains of the house, highlighting the destructive power of fire. It’s a stark reminder of both nature's force and human resilience.
I’ve always admired the work of firefighters and emergency responders, but witnessing such an event firsthand—albeit through photographs—brings a new level of respect. Their ability to remain calm under pressure and work together so efficiently is nothing short of remarkable.
For now, my thoughts go out to those who may have lost their homes and belongings in this incident. Let’s hope they receive the support and assistance they need during this difficult time. If anyone has any updates or knows more about the situation, feel free to share in the comments below.
