Northfield EMS Box Alarm 4-21-13 – fiery crash on the Edens

Just after 9 PM on Sunday evening, the Northfield Fire Department was called to a small brush fire along the Edens Expressway (I-94) near Willow Road. As crews arrived, additional reports came in about a truck fire, prompting more units to respond. Upon reaching the expressway, firefighters saw a massive blaze in the center median of the northbound lanes, approximately half a mile north of Willow Road. They found a fully involved tractor-trailer combination resting atop a passenger car. An EMS Box Alarm was immediately activated, bringing ambulances from Winnetka, Wilmette, Northbrook, and Glencoe, as well as the Northfield ambulance already on scene for triage. Additional support included a Morton Grove squad, a Wilmette tower ladder and engine, and a Glenview truck, supplementing local resources. Due to the intensity of the fire, Crash Truck 23 and Crash Truck 39—two ARFF units from Wheeling and Prospect Heights—were also dispatched. Thankfully, the car's occupants had already exited before emergency crews arrived, thanks to help from other drivers. Three individuals, including the two people in the car that was trapped beneath the trailer, were taken to the hospital. The incident was captured from the frontage road, and a video of the scene is available for viewing. Prospect Heights Crash Truck 39 reported that they used up their entire supply of extinguishing agent before leaving the scene. Photographer Larry Shapiro provided a series of powerful images documenting the aftermath. A gallery with more images can be viewed HERE.
