Algonquin MVA 1-23-13
Jan 24
This from Scott Peterson:
Came upon this accident a few minutes after it happened yesterday. This happened on Randall Rd in front of the Biaggi’s Resturant.
Very little info on the accident, but it appears the driver was going northbound, crossed over into the southbound lanes approx 2 blocks before the crash, hit a lightpole, a tree, then into the large resturant sign. Driver was trapped, extrication took about 20mins. Flight-for-life was requested but unavaiable do to the weather conditions.Algonquin had Eng 142,141, Amb 142 & 141, Shift Command 130.Nice job by the crews!

The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire District responded to a fire Monday night on Springhill Drive. The Daily Herald reports that:
No one was injured in a large fire that spread from an attached garage in Algonquin to the rest of the house, causing extensive damage Monday night.
Firefighters responded to the two-story house on the 1100 block of Spring Hill Drive at about 8:50 p.m. and remained on the scene as of 10 p.m. battling stubborn flames shooting through the roof.
The full article is HERE.
Tyler Tobolt submitted some shots from the scene.
According to the Algonquin Patch:
When crews arrived at 9:01 p.m., they found the entire two-story home was on fire, according to a news release from the Algonquin-LITH Fire Department.
The Incident Commander immediately upgraded the alarm to the 2nd level and crews initiated an aggressive exterior attack. The fire was declared out at 9:57 p.m. Crews remained on the scene until after midnight investigating the fire and securing the home.
