On Wednesday, September 2, 2020, before 1:00 PM, Winnetka police and fire crews were called to a reported house fire at 614 Pine Lane. Battalion 28 arrived first on the small, dead-end street and observed flames coming from the C-Sector of the structure. The alarm was quickly upgraded to a working fire to bring in more resources. Due to the narrow, one-lane road, maneuvering firefighting apparatus was challenging.
Glencoe Engine 30 laid 400 feet of 5-inch hose to a hydrant on a cross street and then supplied Winnetka Engine 28 with another 400 feet of hose. Firefighters stretched several lines into the home as they battled intense fire in the attic. Additional lines were also positioned around the exterior of the building to prevent the fire from spreading.
Approximately 20 minutes into the incident, the alarm was escalated to a MABAS Box Alarm. Flames broke through the roof in at least three locations. A cellar nozzle was inserted through one of the roof openings and later repositioned to a second area. Despite the intensity, the fire was brought under control without significant spread beyond the attic spaces. Two more engines were later requested to provide additional personnel.
Fire companies from Winnetka, Glencoe, Wilmetka, Northfield, Evanston, Highland Park, Lincolnwood, Deerfield, and Wheeling responded. Truck companies from Winnetka, Glenview, and Skokie also arrived. Additional units included Morton Grove Squad 4, Northbrook Ambulance 11, and Wilmette Ambulance 27. One firefighter was evaluated by Northbrook Ambulance 11's crew on scene. Chief officers from Winnetka, Wilmette, Northbrook, and Northfield were present at the fire.
The residence is part of the Indonesian Consulate General’s property, adding an international dimension to the incident. Multiple photos captured the efforts of firefighters battling the blaze, including smoke pouring from vent holes cut in the roof and firefighters using a cellar nozzle from the rooftop. These images highlight the challenges faced by crews during the operation.
