Multiple crews battle heavy blaze at Arlington Heights condo complex

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – A heavy fire at a Arlington Heights condominium building Saturday morning left several units damaged, but no injuries were reported.

The residents who lived in the fourth-floor apartment that caught fire were not home at the time. 

Due to the severity of the fire, the Arlington Heights Fire Department requested mutual aid to help battle the blaze. Rolling Meadows, Mount Prospect, Palatine and Schaumburg Fire Departments assisted in the fire response. 

By 10:17 a.m., the flames were extinguished, according to police. Fire, smoke and water damage are expected to impact four to six units, but it’s unknown how many of those units will be uninhabitable due to the ongoing investigation. 

Residents who are displaced will receive assistance from the Village’s Health and Human Services Department or the Red Cross for temporary housing.
