Palatine firefighters responded Wednesday morning to the Deer Grove Forest Preserve for a large brush fire. Most of the Palatine companies were committed for several hours in addition to an engine from Arlington Heights, ATV brush unit from Hoffman Estates, and a Barrington Countryside tanker. Access to attack the growing and traveling flames was difficult as companies had to work largely from business lots off of Rand Road that surround the property. The Forest Preserve District brush units responded as well and handled much of the final mop up after the bulk of the flames were extinguished.

This from Dennis McGuire, Jr.
Josh Boyajian and I happened to be in Kankakee County taking rig shots when the Pembroke FPD pulled a 3rd Alarm for a brush fire at 2600 South & 13000 East. They had approx. 50 acres going along with several abandoned vehicles, trailers, and mobile homes plus a large amount of tires. Command upgraded to the 4th Alarm then requested a Strike Team from MABAS 37. The area is mostly forest with lots of hills and homes scattered throughout.Dennis McGuire

This from Larry Shapiro:
It’s the season for controlled or prescribed burns, so I followed a huge header Tuesday afternoon (3/31/15) to the Busse Woods Forest Preserve where the Cook County FPD Resource Management firefighters were burning in a large field. I walked in and stayed for about 45 minutes as they moved through the area. Here are some images from the burn area of what’s called the Nature Preserve on the north side of the Salt Creek.

This from Sam Borica:
Here are some photos of the unincorporated Grayslake 3rd alarm brush fire that happened in the area of Chardon Rd & Imperial Court on 5/1/13, called for the 2nd alarm at around 2:35 PM and then third alarm on box #34-70 at around 3:05 PM, box was struck out at around 4:05 PM. I couldn’t get the best pictures because LC Sheriff had Chardon Rd blocked off. I also included a photo of Grayslake Fire Station #3 (Although its not the best picture). Photos by me (Sam Borcia).
