Schaumburg police and firefighter/paramedics responded about 6:10 p.m. Wednesday to a report of a field fire behind 2133 Hammond Drive, near CNS Automotive and Superior Ambulance. Firefighters on the scene reported a ‘good size field fire’ with a little difficulty finding water sources. The fire was knocked in about 40 minutes. Some fire units approached from the east on Motorola property, and other units attacked the fire from the west side behind 2133 Hammond.
Firefighters spent extra time to water down the field after the fire was out to hopefully prevent a rekindle.
