This from Larry Shapiro:

The Countryside FPD was alerted to a full-involved house fire in the area of Midlotian and Kruckenberg Roads in Hawthorn Woods after 11PM on Saturday(11-8-14). Once the address was confirmed, the vacant house was situated in the Lake Zurich Fire Protection District, but Countyrside units were already arriving on the scene. The building was one of several structures on the property at 12124 Kruckenberg Road which is currently being cleared for a new residential development.

Access was delay ed by two Jersey barriers that were blocking the road and had to be moved. An in-line operation supplied water from one side of the incident with over a thousand feet of 5″ hose involving Long Grove Tanker 55, Countryside Tender 411, Lake Zurich Engine , and Countryside Engine 411.  Another hydrant from a street behind the site was also used for a master stream from Countryside Tower 412 and a hand line.
