Storms keep fire departments busy
This message comes from Martin Nowak:
During the severe storms on April 17, 2013, around 5 p.m., a powerful lightning strike hit a transformer near the intersection of 77th Street and Roberts Road in Bridgeview. The photo was taken by someone for me, capturing the moment the lightning struck. The event caused a fire, highlighting the destructive power of nature during such weather conditions.
Here’s another account from Larry Shapiro:
Buffalo Grove firefighters were called to 414 Manchester Court just before 3 p.m. on the same day due to a reported structure fire. It appears that a lightning strike ignited a fire on the building's exterior, which then spread slightly into the second floor. Below are some photos from the scene, showing the efforts of the emergency responders.
The first image shows a firefighter removing facia from a ladder, indicating the extent of the damage. Another photo captures the external damage caused by the lightning, while others show the response teams in action—Engine 26 arriving first with two lines deployed, and Quint 27 heading to the roof. Additional units like Squad 26 and Tower 25 were also on site, working together to contain the fire. These images provide a clear look at how quickly and efficiently the local fire department responded to the situation.
