Excerpts from Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District on Facebook:

At 01:47 the Lincolnshire Riverwoods Fire District responded to the 300 block of Goshawk Lane in unincorporated Deerfield, for the reported structure fire. While responding RED Center (Regional Emergency Dispatch Center) informed crews that police officers were on the scene confirming a fully-involved structure. Firefighters arrived at a two-story, multi-unit townhome complex with heavy fire from the roof. They pulled a hose line for a fire attack and began confirming the home was evacuated. The fire was contained to the unit of origin.

 

The exposure building was checked for fire extension and had minimal damage. A Mutual Aid Box alarm was activated for additional personnel and fire investigators. The cause and monetary amount of the fire are being investigated.

The Lincolnshire-Riverwoods FPD was assisted by firefighters from Deerfield, Buffalo Grove, Long Grove, Wheeling, Northbrook, Arlington Heights, Prospect Heights, Highland Park, Countryside, Glencoe, and Northfield along with the Lake County Sheriff’s office and RED Center .
