Late last night, emergency responders from Palatine were called out to tackle a severe fire that broke out in a detached garage located at 629 Hill Road. This area is unincorporated Cook County, but it’s surrounded by Palatine. Multiple neighbors quickly reported seeing thick, heavy flames consuming the structure. The homeowner, visibly distressed, mentioned that she couldn’t locate her daughter or her husband.
Upon their arrival, the firefighters noticed a large plume of smoke rising above the scene, prompting them to upgrade the incident to a Code 4 working fire. To everyone's surprise, the initial reports were slightly misleading—the structure involved wasn’t a detached garage, but rather a two-story house with an attached garage that was already heavily ablaze.
Engine 81 and their team immediately sprang into action. They stretched a 2-1/2 inch hose line toward the fire, while another engine took a secondary line to the C-D corner where flames were also raging fiercely. Inside the house, firefighters discovered that the fire had spread beyond the garage and into the interior of the home. The daughter was trapped on the second floor, unable to escape due to the intense smoke. Thanks to the quick response of the firefighters, she was safely brought outside without any injuries. A thorough search of the house confirmed that there were no other occupants inside.
The firefighting efforts were relentless, and within about 20 minutes, the flames were brought under control. However, the house sustained extensive damage, particularly in the areas affected by the fire. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured during the incident.
Attached are several photos taken by Larry Shapiro, showcasing the dramatic scenes from the incident. These images provide a glimpse into the intensity of the fire and the dedication of the firefighters who worked tirelessly to protect the property and ensure the safety of its residents.

Honeycomb Seal
Honeycomb gas seals are mainly used in turbine machinery such as aviation engines, gas turbines, and steam turbines, as well as chemical equipment. Seals are mainly divided into blade top seals, baffle (or stationary blade ring) seals, and shaft seals based on their position and function.
Honeycomb sealing can produce good sealing effect, reduce airflow loss, and improve aerodynamic efficiency. The honeycomb seal at the top of the blade also has a good dehumidification effect, which can effectively protect the blades from erosion by water vapor. Materials and dimensions can be customized according to customer requirements, while providing consulting services on product design and application.
