More on the 3-Alarm fire in Buffalo Grove, 3-8-25 from Dan McInerney:

Here are some pics from the 3-Alarm fire yesterday in Buffalo Grove at 321 Le Parc Circle. I got there after the bulk of the fire was knocked down, but the wind kicked up and made things interesting for a bit, but it never really took off again. As seen, Northbrook Tower 12 was downwind and in the thick of it, the members eventually donned their SCBA’s and kept the fire from spreading to the east.

3-Alarm fire in Buffalo Grove, 3-8-25

Buffalo Grove police officers and firefighters along with mutual aid companies were dispatched for smoke in the building at approximately 1:30 Saturday afternoon to the 321-335 Le Parc Circle building. First arriving companies had light smoke visible and went to investigate. Firefighters found fire from an end unit that was traveling in the walls and through void spaces between the first and second floors. The incident was upgraded to a Code 4 Working Fire that brought additional resources to the scene. As the fire spread into additional units in this six-unit building, the alarm was upgraded to a MABAS Box Alarm followed by a 2nd Alarm and eventually a 3rd Alarm.

Four aerials, Buffalo Grove Tower 25, Northbrook Tower 12, Mundelein Quint 432 a Lake Forest quint were setup for master streams but Mundelein did not go to work. After an aggressive interior attack utilizing multiple companies, everyone was ordered out of the building when conditions were deemed unsafe and they transitioned to a defensive attack.

All six units were left uninhabitable with the major destruction to several units along the west section of the building.

Box Alarm fire in unincorporated Long Grove, 3-1-25

Firefighters from the Countryside Fire Protection District and neighboring fire departments responded to a house fire at 5636 Oakwood Circle Saturday night just after 8:30PM (3/1/25). The fire, reported to have begun in the rear of the structure, communicated to the house. The neighborhood is without fire hydrants and required water to be shuttled to the scene by tankers (tenders). Firefighters initially took an offensive posture before having to transition to a defensive attack.

The alarm was upgraded to a MABAS Box Alarm for additional resources. Countryside, Mundelein, and Lincolnshire-Riverwoods apparatus were deployed on the block as a Lake Zurich engine laid 1000′ of 4″ hose to the corner where they began drafting from two portable tanks. Countryside Ladder Tower 411 was setup for aerial master stream operations in the driveway.

A partial list of tankers that shuttled water to the scene included Countryside, Wauconda, Grayslake, Libertyville, Round Lake, and the first deployment for the new Long Grove tanker. Other units at the scene were a Gurnee tower ladder along with engines from Lake Forest, North Chicago, and Highland Park plus an ambulance from Wheeling.
