Images of companies working at 4177 Midway Lane in Glenview (IL) on 8-25 after lightning struck a house during one of several rounds of violent storms that passed through the area. Heavy smoke on arrival prompted an upgrade to a working fire response which brought mutual aid from neighboring Morton Grove, Niles, Northfield, and Wilmette units to supplement all of the Glenview companies.
Morton Grove Quint 4 was on the road when the call came in, so instead of going back to quarters and jumping to Squad 4 (which was due) they were told to go right to the scene. Ambulance 4 also came to bring the crew strength to five.
