Buffalo Grove (IL) firefighters were called to 2500 Millbrook Drive Tuesday afternoon (3/7/17) for fire in a trash compactor against a loading dock. The fire was contained to the dumpster outside the building but smoke permeated the warehouse. The fire department requested a wrecker to pull the dumpster away from the building so they could access the material inside. After soaking down what they could get at, an unsuccessful attempt was made to dump the contents to insure there was no additional fire.
The address is along the border with the town of Lincolnshire, and lines were pulled from Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Truck 51 which was first on the scene.
