Fire Engine 2 in the 1700 block of North Chestnut Avenue in Hasbrook neighborhood.
Arlington Heights police and firefighter/paramedics responded about 8:48 PM Friday for a smoke odor investigation or related incident in the block of 1700 North Chestnut Ave Arlington Heights, IL. Police and firefighter/paramedics responded for a possible fire at a house where no flames or smoke were seen. Firefighters checked a house with infrared cameras, and checked appliances. Residents appeared to be home at the time of the incident at 8:50 p.m.
Apparently no fire was detected at the house. About five hours later a large power failure hit the area after power line trouble occurred about ten blocks away at Thomas Street and Wilke Road at the border of Arlington Heights and Palatine.
No confirmation regarding whether the power failure at 2:00 a.m. Saturday might have followed a possible power surge at about 8:50 p.m. Friday.
