House fire in North Barrington, The Lake Zurich Fire District, 3-3-24

Early Sunday evening, (3/3/24) Lake Zurich and neighboring firefighters were dispatched for a fire on the rear deck of a house that was extending to the structure on Kimberly Road in North Barrington. The house is situated on a narrow street in an area without hydrants. The first engine pulled a line for the deck fire and they were subsequently nursed by the second-due engine for additional water. Lake Zurich’s third engine then did the same before the first tanker arrived with an additional water supply. The fire was upgraded to a MABAS Box Alarm for a tender shuttle, but the fire was extinguished before there was a need for a that.

A partial list of equipment at the scene included trucks from Wauconda and Buffalo Grove, a squad from Libertyville, an engine from Wheeling, ambulances from Mundelein, Palatine, and the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods FPD, tankers (tenders) from Cary, Long Grove, Libertyville, and the Countryside FPD.

House fire in Evanston, 1-22-24

Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:

There was a large response after a fire broke out in the basement of a home in the 1100 block of Florence Avenue in Evanston at about 9:45 a.m. The fire quickly spread to other floors. The first floor partially collapsed, trapping two firefighters and prompting a mayday call.

Both firefighters were removed and taken in stable condition to a nearby hospital.

A cat died in the fire, and all three residents were displaced. The cause of the fire is being investigated.
