Fire Department gives residents a real hose job


Hundreds of Buffalo Grove residents braved sweltering temperatures on Saturday to participate in the Buffalo Grove Fire Department's annual open house.

The event, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., featured displays of equipment, fire prevention information, opportunities for children to slide down a fire pole and handle a hose.  A highlight of the event was the visit by the “Flight for Life” helicopter, which is based locally at Centegra Hospital in McHenry

The Fire Department also provided refreshments.
