The Gurnee Fire Department had a 2nd Alarm fire today at 36938 Kimberwick Lane, in Wadsworth. This is Gurnee’s unincorporated, non hydranted area. Jeff Rudolph made the fire and reports that it involved a large single family house. The fire started in the garage from a heat lamp and traveled up a wall into the attic.
Jeff has images posted to his Flickr site HERE which show more of the companies that were on-scene and the drafting operation for the tankers.
