The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department requested MABAS Box 5-371 to the box alarm level for a working fire in a vacant, two-story house on 4/21/23 around 5pm. Heavy smoke and fire was showing from the rear of the house on arrival and command initiated defensive operations only. Tender operations were needed since there were no hydrants in the area.

Excerpts from Fox32chicago.com:
The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department responded to a fire at the Skyridge Club Apartments at 12:30 p.m. and found flames and smoke coming out of a second-floor apartment.
The occupants of the burning apartment were not at home, and the people in the other seven units had already evacuated. One person suffered smoke inhalation and was treated at the scene.
The apartment where the fire started was a total loss. Three other apartments suffered significant smoke damage, but four were spared thanks to a fire wall.
The American Red Cross is helping residents find shelter.
