Working fire in Palatine, 12-23-20
On Wednesday morning, Palatine firefighters responded to a fire at the Woodhaven Apartments located at 15 B Dundee Quarter Drive. Engine 82 arrived first and spotted heavy flames on the third floor as they entered from Dundee Road. They immediately initiated a blitz attack using their deck gun while pulling lines for an interior assault. The attic was fully involved, with flames visible through the roof. As additional units from Palatine arrived, more lines were deployed inside, and the bulk of the fire was quickly brought under control.
The building featured a mansard roof, which raised concerns about hidden fire and the potential for the blaze to spread across fire walls to adjacent structures. Ventilation holes were cut into the mansard on the B side, and flames were once again seen through the roof. At that point, Arlington Heights Tower 1 prepared to deploy a master stream, but it was ultimately not needed as interior crews handled the remaining fire. A master stream from Palatine Quint 83 was used briefly to wash down the exterior in sector A.
Firefighters from Long Grove, Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, and Rolling Meadows provided assistance at the scene. The incident highlighted the challenges posed by the building’s unique design and the coordinated response required to contain the fire effectively. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the structure was saved from further damage. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
