Lake Zurich firefighters and neighboring departments were dispatched for a house fire at 21395 W Brandon Road in Kildeer at 9:30 PM Wednesday (3/5/25). Firefighters en route could see smoke from several blocks away. They arrived to find heavy fire in a large, four-car garage. The area is without hydrants so the initial response included several tankers. Lake Zurich Engine 4 arrived first and dropped 1000′ of 4″ hose down the dead-end street. They were followed almost immediately by Long Grove Tanker 55 and then Lake Zurich Engine 3 that laid approximately another 500′ of hose to complete the distance to the address. As lines were stretched from Engine 4, Long Grove assisted with a nursing operation and an additional line was deployed from Engine 3. These three units combined brought just under 5,000 gallons of water to the front of the house.

Countryside and Wauconda tankers setup portable dump tanks at the end of the street and the Countryside tanker was used as the draft engine. The alarm was upgraded to a Box Alarm, then a 2nd Alarm, and finally a 3rd Alarm for tankers (tenders) to maintain a sufficient water supply for the companies battling the flames.

House fire in North Barrington, The Lake Zurich Fire District, 3-3-24

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos | Comments off

Early Sunday evening, (3/3/24) Lake Zurich and neighboring firefighters were dispatched for a fire on the rear deck of a house that was extending to the structure on Kimberly Road in North Barrington. The house is situated on a narrow street in an area without hydrants. The first engine pulled a line for the deck fire and they were subsequently nursed by the second-due engine for additional water. Lake Zurich’s third engine then did the same before the first tanker arrived with an additional water supply. The fire was upgraded to a MABAS Box Alarm for a tender shuttle, but the fire was extinguished before there was a need for a that.

A partial list of equipment at the scene included trucks from Wauconda and Buffalo Grove, a squad from Libertyville, an engine from Wheeling, ambulances from Mundelein, Palatine, and the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods FPD, tankers (tenders) from Cary, Long Grove, Libertyville, and the Countryside FPD.
