Lake Zurich firefighters were called to 45 Gentry Drive in Hawthorn Woods Monday evening for a reported house fire. Police units arriving first confirmed fire in a second floor bedroom. The area is without hydrants and tankers responded from Countryside and Long Grove. One Lake Zurich engine setup at the end of the street with a portable-tank and the firs-in engine was nursed by the Countryside tanker in front of the house. The fire was extinguished within 20 minutes.
Also at the scene was a Buffalo Grove engine, a Wauconda truck, and a Lincolnshire-Riverwoods ambulance.

Looks like Lake Zurich put one of the new engines in service! My guess is this was the first fire that it was called to! I know Station 2 received the 2012 engine. Which stations received the new engines? I am guessing Station 4 is one of the stations that received a new engine? The re-painted Long Grove tanker looks sharp!
