On Sunday afternoon, March 19, 2023, Palatine firefighters responded to a report of smoke on the third floor of an apartment building located at 12 E Dundee Quarter. Upon arrival, Palatine police officers observed smoke and then flames coming from the roof, prompting the incident to be upgraded to a Code 4 working fire.
Palatine crews launched an interior attack with two hose lines on the third floor, conducting searches throughout the building. However, due to the intense fire volume in the mansard roof and deteriorating conditions, firefighters were forced to evacuate and transition to a defensive strategy. During the evacuation, a firefighter on a balcony called for help after being unable to exit via the interior. He successfully descended a ground ladder to safety.
The fire managed to bypass the fire wall and spread into the adjacent building, causing significant damage to its roof and third floor. Several structural collapses occurred in the original structure. In response, units from Palatine Tower 85, Buffalo Grove Tower 25, and Arlington Heights Tower 1 deployed master streams to help control the blaze.
Multiple area departments were also on the scene, including fire crews from Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Mount Prospect, Lake Zurich, Barrington, Inverness, Hoffman Estates, Rolling Meadows, and the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods FPD. It’s likely that this list doesn’t include every department that arrived to assist. The situation was complex and required coordinated efforts from numerous agencies to bring the fire under control.
