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 the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods FPD, 6-2-17

The Lincolnshire-Riverwoods FPD (LRFPD) was called to 24341 Elm Road early Friday morning (6/2/17) for the report of an ATV on fire. A followup call apparently notified dispatchers that the fire had spread to the attached garage. Lake Forest Engine 422 arrived first and advised that they had a fully-involved garage fire. LRFPD Engine 52, Squad 51, and Battalion 51 arrived right behind the first engine and all three suppression units exhausted their tank water on the initial attack. Countryside Engine 411 arrived with the Lincolnshire units and supplied their tank water inline as well. The home is located in an unincorporated area of Lake Forest without hydrants.

On arrival, Battalion 51 upgraded the alarm to a Code 4 for the working fire and simultaneously a MABAS Box Alarm was struck which would bring several water tankers in addition to supplemental fire suppression companies. Portable tanks were dropped from Long Grove and Countryside tankers, While Long Grove drafted from the portable tanks supplying the engines at the scene, tankers from Countryside, Wauconda, Grayslake, and the Palatine Rural FPD shuttled water to the scene from a hydrant roughly a mile away.

The fire was largely contained to the garage with some extension into the house and attic.
