On December 29, 2017, the Des Plaines Fire Department responded to a serious fire at the Car-X Muffler shop located at 1108 E. Oakton. The call came in during the afternoon, and the incident was just half a mile from Station 62. Upon arrival, Engine 62 reported visible flames and immediately launched an interior attack. However, within minutes, the fire became more intense, with flames and smoke visible from two sides of the building and even through the roof. As a result, crews were quickly ordered out for an exterior attack.
Both Des Plaines tower ladders were deployed as the situation escalated to a working fire. Soon after, the B-sector wall collapsed, taking part of the roof with it. In response, a MABAS Box Alarm was called in to bring in additional resources. Park Ridge Tower Ladder 36 was dispatched to the rear of the scene, where it provided a third elevated master stream, supported by a Rosemont engine.
The scene saw a large number of units responding, including Des Plaines engines 61, 62, and 63, towers 61 and 63, ambulances 61, 62, and 63, and battalion units 61, 6100, and 6101. Mutual aid support came from Park Ridge, Rosemont, Glenview, North Maine, Elk Grove Township, Schiller Park, Morton Grove, Skokie, Northbrook, Wheeling, and Mount Prospect. Additional help included a warming bus from Mount Prospect and several Other ambulance units.
Several witnesses were on the scene, and this is the first of multiple updates to follow. Below are some of the photos taken by Larry Shapiro, capturing the intensity of the fire and the heroic efforts of the firefighters.
