ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. (WLS) Two people have died in a house fire in Arlington Heights Thursday morning, fire officials said.
Firefighters arrived just 8 a.m. Thursday morning to find smoke and flames pouring out of the house in the 1900-block of North Spruce Terrace.
The pressure from inside blew the windows out. Their first objective was getting the fire under control and protecting neighboring homes. Once the main body of the fire was knocked down, crews moved inside of the structure. In the investigation, we found two victims located upstairs, said Arlington Heights Fire Chief Andrew Larson.
Lewis Smith, 75, and his 72-year-old wife Joanie had lived in the home for several decades. They were transported to Northwest Community Hospital and both died shortly after arriving.

An animal nest around the chimney flue of an Arlington Heights home is believed to be the cause of a fire Friday that left the residence uninhabitable, fire officials said Monday.
Residents of the single-family home on the 300 block of East Ivy Lane were able to get out safely thanks to working smoke alarms that alerted them, and no one was injured in the blaze, according to the Arlington Heights Fire Department.
Firefighters were called to the house at 8:52 p.m. Friday, finding fire venting from the west side of the house at the roof line, the department said.

In many of the old, yellowed photographs from the early days of the Arlington Heights Fire Department stands Frank White, a charter member elected by his fellow firefighters as president of what started in 1894 as an all-volunteer department. He posed as they did: stiffly and self-consciously. His walrus mustache was full, drooping at the sides in the classic soup-strainer style of the day, wrote Dick Hoffmann in a Sept. 28, 1961, Daily Herald article.
The firefighter did differ from the others in one particular way: his race.
As village leaders today work to complete a diversity, equity and inclusion project, they re looking to the past for inspiration, with plans to honor the man who was the first Black resident of Arlington Heights.
