Double fatal fire in Ingleside, 12-10-20

This from Jeff Rudolph:

Fox Lake responded to the 35000 block of N. Hunt in Ingleside around 11 pm on 12/10/20. First in companies were faced with heavy fire, multiple rescues, and water issues. Command went to the box for tenders, and manpower. Tragically, 2 young girls perished in the fire, and 4 adults were transported to area hospitals in serious to critical condition. A GOFundMe site has been set up to help. Evans Family Fire Fundraiser, if you want to give to a good cause, and help in this Holiday Season.

Townhouse fire in Volo, 6-10-20

Excerpts from Chicago.cbslocal.com:

The Lake County Sheriff’s Police and Fox Lake Fire Department were called at 7:08 p.m. Wednesday for a fire at 110 Terra Vista Court in Volo.

Sheriff’s deputies and firefighters found flames coming from the garage area. The residents are fire artists who were practicing their performance in the garage, when one of them dropped a flaming object. There were accelerants being stored nearby, and the garage went up in flames. The fire spread quickly, significantly damaging the townhouse and spreading to adjacent units. The garage, a car, and part of the residential structure were damage or destroyed.

One woman was burned with non-life-threatening injuries, and was taken to the hospital.
