Buffalo Grove firefighters kept busy over a 24-hour period this week battling a house fire that claimed a dog, and a car that caught fire at a gas station the following day.
Crews were dispatched around 2 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21 to a report of smoke coming from a single-family house at 504 Crown Point Dr. near Buffalo Grove and Old Checker roads.
When police and fire responders first arrived on the scene, they reported smoke billowing from the home’s eaves, so the response alarm was upgraded to a Code 4.
Crews entered the home, which had no occupants, but encountered heavy smoke.
