This from John Tulipano:
St Charles Eng 103 and Brush 101 were dispatched to 4000 W. Lincoln Highway (route 38) for a possible brush fire. While en-route Engine 103 reported a header in the sky … they arrived and reported 10 acres of brush going and moving rapidly westward. Chief 112 arrived and requested brush trucks from Batavia and Geneva. Elburn’s chief arrived and requested two brush trucks and a tanker from Elburn.
Fox River and Countryside (FRC) was also dispatched by Kane County … they were already on two other brush fires at the far northeast end of their district. Eventually they would arrive with both of their engines, a tanker, and two brush trucks.When FRC arrived, they took the west side of the fire to protect exposures to a large barn, house, and several out buildings. FRC’s tanker would fill Elburn, St Charles, and their own brush rigs several times to bring the fire under control. Turns out the fire was in Fox River and Countryside’s district, the address was 39w962 Route 38.
