This is from Larry Shapiro:
Residents called the Wheeling Fire Department on Wednesday evening, reporting an explosion in the kitchen at 293 Lincoln Road. The first responding officer noted smoke coming from the house and that one person required medical attention. Firefighters arrived shortly after and confirmed a fire inside the split-level home.
The injured individual was taken by ambulance to a local hospital, and the incident was upgraded to a working fire. Firefighters quickly deployed two interior lines to bring the flames under control.
Units from Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, and Northbrook joined the effort, along with two engines, two ambulances, a ladder truck, and two chief officers from Wheeling.
Below are some photos and a short video capturing the scene.
