Friday morning around 7:30 AM, the Northbrook Fire Department received multiple calls reporting thick smoke pouring from a vacant home at 1017 Shermer Road. When the first units arrived, they found heavy smoke filling the entire ranch-style house, with the source clearly coming from the basement. The incident was quickly escalated to a Code 4, indicating a working fire, and additional support was called in from nearby departments in Glencoe and Northfield.
After the flames were fully extinguished, investigators were dispatched to the scene as part of an "investigator’s box alarm," bringing in fire experts from neighboring Division 3 departments to help determine the cause of the fire. This level of coordination is typical in cases where the origin is not immediately clear, ensuring a thorough and professional investigation.
Tim Olk was among the first on the scene and captured several compelling images of the emergency. His photos show the intensity of the situation, from the initial arrival of firefighters to the ongoing efforts to contain the blaze.
The first image shows Northbrook firefighters arriving at the scene, already taking action as they assess the situation. A window has been broken for ventilation, and crews are preparing to advance a hose line through the front door—only to realize the fire is actually in the basement.
Another photo captures firefighters moving through dense smoke, working to vent the roof while another firefighter removes the front door to allow better access. The third image highlights the critical moment when the truck company is exiting the roof, while a hose line is being deployed through the basement window to directly attack the fire.
These images give a powerful visual account of the challenges faced by the responding crews. Tim has shared more photos in a gallery, which can be viewed [here](#). His coverage adds valuable context to the event, offering a firsthand look at how quickly and effectively the Northbrook Fire Department responded to this serious incident.
