2-Alarm fire in Des Plaines, 1-5-23

Larry Shapiro shared this account: Following numerous 911 calls to the RED Center reporting a significant fire, firefighters from the North Maine Fire Protection District (FPD) were dispatched to an unknown address. Guided by a dispatch header, they traveled less than half a mile to 9320 Noel Street, located in unincorporated Maine Township. Upon arriving at the scene, they found heavy flames erupting from one unit of a four-unit, two-story apartment building. The front of the second unit from the street had been completely obliterated by the fire. The initial alarm was quickly upgraded to a Working Fire status and later escalated further to a MABAS Box Alarm. Within minutes, the incident was bumped up to a Second Alarm, drawing additional resources from neighboring areas like Glencoe and Lincolnshire. Firefighters tackled the blaze using multiple handlines and three elevated master streams. By the time I arrived on the scene, most of the fire had already been suppressed. The intense heat and smoke had taken their toll, leaving behind a charred and gutted structure. It was clear that this had been a severe fire, one that would take extensive efforts to fully extinguish and prevent it from spreading to adjacent units. Attached are several photos captured by Larry Shapiro, offering a glimpse into the intensity and scale of the firefighting operation. These images truly capture the dedication and bravery of the firefighters who worked tirelessly under challenging conditions. For those interested in viewing more visuals, there is also a brief video provided by Steve Redick.
