Palatine-based Partners For Our Communities has launched a donation drive to help families left homeless by a fire Sunday that gutted two buildings in the Windhaven Condominium Complex. The fire broke out shortly after 5 p.m. in a three-story building on East Dundee Quarter and quickly spread to a neighboring building. By the time firefighters brought it under control more than three hours later, 22 units were left uninhabitable and dozens of residents were displaced. Palatine fire officials said Tuesday the cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
