This from Larry Shapiro:
Homeowners at 14 Carnoustie Lane in Inverness called the Palatine Rural FPD and reported fire in the attic of their house shortly before 5PM on Tuesday. The large home is located in an area without hydrants roughly 1/2 mile from the fire station. First arriving companies attempted an interior attack and were forced to retreat and change to a defensive strategy. Heavy fire took hold of the attic and self vented through the roof as the alarm was escalated for additional units and water tankers. Two Palatine Rural firefighters from the initial attack company were subsequently transported to an area hospital.
A tanker shuttle was initiated as Palatine Tower 85 was put to work with an elevated master stream. The temperature as companies arrived was 94 degrees with a heat index near 100 degrees. A 2nd alarm was struck for additional tankers and then a 3rd alarm was requested when all companies in the staging area had been depleted.
Companies included engines from Palatine Rural, Palatine, Hoffman Estates, Rolling Meadows, Barrington, Lake Zurich, Carpentersville, Roselle, Elk Grove Village, Elk Grove Township, and Mount Prospect. Trucks came from Palatine, Buffalo Grove, Hoffman Estates, Wheeling, and Des Plaines. Tankers working included Palatine Rural, Long Grove, Prospect Heights, Roselle, Cary, Fox River Grove, Rutland-Dundee, Wauconda, and Crystal Lake. Departments with ambulances included Palatine, East Dundee, Crystal Lake, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, Bartlett, and Arlington Heights.
A hand line was dedicated to monitor hot embers that landed on a neighbor’s cedar shake roof which caused some concern early into the operation.
Mutual aid companies were being released around 8PM and the alarm was struck-out just before 9PM.
More images can be viewed HERE.
A video will be posted tomorrow.

The Barrington & Countryside FPD received a call reporting a barn fire this afternoon at 544 Penny Road in Barrington Hills. The vacant barn is on the Cook County Forest Preserve property behind a vacant house which used to be occupied by a caretaker. The structure was fully involved when the first Barrington companies arrived, and the alarm was upgraded immediately to a box alarm for water tankers and additional personnel.
The structure went down quickly and no exposures were threatened. Five tankers shuttled water to the scene. Departments with tankers were Long Grove, Palatine Rural, East Dundee, Wauconda, and Bartlett. Engines came from Carpentersville, Lake Zurich, Algonquin-Lake in the Hills, Hoffman Estates, and Fox River Grove. Palatine responded with Quint 81 in addition to Cary Squad 255, Buffalo Grove Ambulance 26, and Arlington Heights Ambulance 1.
Tim Olk, Scott Peterson, and Larry Shapiro all went to the scene and will have images to share.
