1 OUR MISSION: TO LIMIT THE LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY THROUGH PLANNING, PREVENTION AND RESPONSE The Park Ridge Fire Department responded to a two-car crash at Cumberland Avenue and Cedar Street. Upon arrival, they found one car heavily damaged along Cedar Street in the lot where the Bailey's restaurant used to be located. After the second vehicle rear-ended the first, it launched itself up a 15-ft. hill, crashed through a chain link fence and ended up on the center track at Cumberland Avenue. Two injuries resulted and both patients were treated and transported to Lutheran General Hospital. Volume XII Issue V

5 Personnel News Fire Administration Memorial Day is a time to remember those who have made a commitment to serve and protect and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country- all armed forces, all wars. A hearty "thank you" to the following Park Ridge Fire Department veterans for their present and prior military service: Tony Zermeno, US Navy and USMC Brian Pavone, US Air Force Jeff Laube, US Army Bob Kelly, US Army Greg Garland, USMC Robert Sempoch, Polish Army World Trade Center Steel Update Fire Administration Park Ridge s proposed 9/11 memorial could cost as much as $220,600. The Commission met this month to discuss details of the memorial, which may feature a sloped, translucent wall surrounding the glass-encased steel beam at the fire station on Devon and Cumberland. Plans included a bench attached to the inner part of the wall, which will have engraving explaining the memorial s purpose. Myefski Architects. Inc. suggested incorporating a long walkway leading to the memorial and moving the station sign. They believe it could take up to three and a half months to build. During the meeting, discussion regarding fund raising, creating a 501 (c3) organization, the overall design, as well as the cost were some topics addressed. The commission hopes to give a presentation about its plans to the City Council on June 25. 4

May 8 May 9 May 23 May 25 May 25 May 28 Companies responded to Canfield Road and Yost Avenue for a utility pole on fire. Hose lines were set up in case the fire extended to the garages in the alley. Com Ed arrived and shut down the power to the area, and the fire was quickly extinguished. Companies responded to a fire in a house started by a washing machine. Engine #35 responded to a fire in a hotel in the 6600 block of Mannheim Road in Rosemont. Engine #35 responded to Des Plaines on a change of quarters while the Des Plaines Fire Department was fighting a house fire. Engine #35 was first to respond to a pedestrian struck by a vehicle call while covering Des Plaines. Companies responded to the reported crash between a fuel- tanker truck and two passenger vehicles. A total of four (4) patients were transported to Lutheran General Hospital. The Rosemont Fire Department responded to a subsequent EMS call in the City of Park Ridge during this incident.

FIRE INVESTIGATION Lieutenant Derek Decker Investigation Details May 2 All Park Ridge equipment along with the Rosemont and Norwood Park Fire Departments responded for an outside fire near a structure along the 1000 block of W. Glenlake. Upon arrival of Engine 35, a personal watercraft was found on fire along with a medium-sized gasoline container. A combination of methods was used to extinguish the fire including a pre-connected hoseline and a dry chemical extinguisher. The siding of the nearby structure as well as a gas-powered generator was also damaged as a result of the fire. The resulting monetary damage was estimated to be $6000. The investigation concluded that the fire resulted when a candle being used for light ignited gasoline vapors that were present when a generator was being filled. The burning gasoline container was kicked away from the structure resulting in the watercraft igniting. The fire was classified as accidental. 6
8 May 9 All Park Ridge equipment along with the Rosemont and Norwood Park Fire Departments responded for the report of a structure fire along the 1500 block of Brophy. Companies arrived to a small two-story single-family residential and found light smoke on the first floor and heavier white smoke in the basement. A small fire was discovered under a washing machine and was quickly extinguished by using a water extinguisher. The fire was confined to the appliance. The resulting monetary damage was estimated to be $500. The investigation determined the fire resulted from a non-specific failure of the washing machine which had repairs recently made to it. The fire was classified as accidental. May 12 Engine 35 responded for an outside fire along the 900 block of W. Devon. Upon arrival, a small fire involving a cardboard box was found in the middle of a baseball field. The fire was extinguished by use of a water extinguisher. No monetary damage resulted. Investigators could not determine the actual cause of the fire. The fire was classified as undetermined. May 13 Tower 36 and Battalion 35 responded to the 1500 block of Hoffman for a reported outside fire. Battalion 35 arrived to find a small charcoal grill burning and quickly extinguished the fire using a dry chemical extinguish. Only minor damage resulted from the fire. The investigation determined the owner attempted to start the charcoal briquettes by using gasoline. The gasoline vapors ignited during the pour since the charcoal briquettes were already smoldering. No damage estimates were provided. May 27 Tower 36 responded to the block of Busse for an outside fire. A small plastic garbage can was found burning and was extinguished by using a water extinguisher. The resulting damage was estimated to be $150. It was determined the fire resulted when hot charcoal briquettes were dumped into the plastic garbage can. The fire was classified as accidental. May 31 Both Station 35 and 36 fire apparatus along with the Rosemont and Norwood Park Fire Departments responded to the 800 block of W. Devon for a reported roof fire. Upon arrival of Engine 35, a small fire involving the mansard roof was discovered. A pre-connected hoseline was used to extinguish the fire. The mansard was overhauled to confirm the fire had not extended past its area of origin. The loss was estimated to be $5000. The investigation determined the fire resulted when electrical heat energy from charged conductors ignited surrounding combustibles. The fire was classified as accidental. 7
9 Investigation s Summary The six fires during May resulted in a combined fire loss of $11,650. Through May 2012, the Park Ridge Fire Department has responded to a total of 26 fires within the City with damages nearing $760,000. Investigation Photos Training Improper care, maintenance and use of powered equipment often lead to fire Park Ridge Fire Investigators attended a 6-hour training seminar hosted in Rosemont to learn about the challenges investigators often face while investigating recreational vehicle fires. Training opportunities like the recently attended seminar keep investigators knowledge current and also help satisfy requirements for recertification. Fire at Colonial Coffee Shop on 5/31/12, 800 W.

The device shuts off the flow of gas to a cylinder after 80% capacity has been reached. As of April 1, 2002, OPDs are required on all propane cylinders between 4 and 40 pounds propane capacity. NFPA, the National Propane Gas Association (NPGA), and the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC) have issued a free Fire Safety Analysis Manual, which provides forms and a step-by-step method for completing a written Fire Safety Analysis (FSA) as required in NFPA 58, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code. 12
