Local Firefighters Put Out Highland Park House Fire

Firefighters from Winnetka, Glencoe and Northfield departments helped Highland Park firefighters put out a blaze at 1414 Sheridan Road on Monday night.

According to photographer Peter Wolf, the fire started at around 6:45 p.m., in a third story home theater room. The only person in the house was the housekeeper, according to Pioneer Press, which also reports that the homeowners arrived home to find flames coming through the roof.

Fire crews from Highland Park, Highwood, Deerfield-Bannockburn, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, Libertyville, Knollwood, Lake Bluff, Northbrook and Wilmette were all on scene. The fire was finally put out just before 9 p.m.

Although the fire was just in the third floor attic area, Highland Park Fire Chief  told Pioneer Press that smoke and water damage has left the home uninhabitable.
