Deck fire in Prospect Heights, 8-9-18

From the Prospect Heights Fire District:

Fire companies were dispatched to a reported structure fire at the specified location. Upon arrival, they were informed by dispatch that the fire had already been extinguished and was located on the rear deck. A subsequent investigation revealed that a smoldering fire from a planter box had fallen onto the rear balcony deck, igniting the wood. Firefighters removed a section of the deck board along with some trim work, checked for any signs of fire extension, and then thoroughly washed down the area to ensure complete extinguishment.

Units on scene included: Prospect Heights Engine 9, Tower 9, Engine 39, Battalion 9, and Engine 900. Wheeling Engine 23, Mobile Tower 13, and Mobile Engine 14 also responded.

The incident appears to have been contained quickly, with no reports of injuries. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it seems to have originated from a small, smoldering source that was not immediately visible. Firefighters remained on site for several hours to ensure full control and safety. Local residents were advised to remain cautious and report any unusual activity in the future.
