Storm Damage, Lines Down, Small Power Line-Related Fires, Tree Branches Down In Northwest And North Suburbs

Storm causes multiple problems in northwest suburbs. Prospect Heights firefighters responded about 6:05 p.m. to a fire at a house with reported lines down in the 700 block of Maple Street. Firefighters on the scene called for Com Ed to respond to the scene.

Numerous trees and lines are reported down, especially in the area near Golf Mill. Firefighters are on the scene of power lines down behind Walmart on Golf Road. Firefighters reported multiple primary lines down with multiple fires -- apparently on the ground in the area -- at Maynard Road and Kay Street.

On June 5, 2013, Arlington Heights Fire Department and several surrounding fire departments switched to a radio dispatch channel that cannot be monitored by the media. None of these fire departments have real time social media notifications, as do several major cities, such as Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Portland.
