Interdivisional requests from Division 1,2,4,5. There was a speical request for a brush truck from Lake Villa.UCP 13 was also out there
This from Larry Shapiro:
Occupants that are currently renting the house were burning leaves this afternoon and the fire communicated to a tree sending embers onto the house. The wind caused the fire to spread rapidly. A 2nd Alarm was requested on arrival of Barrington & Countryside units followed quickly by an upgrade to a 4th Alarm for tenders only. The 5th Alarm was requested later and then Interdivisional Alarms for a Tender task Force from Divisions 2 and 5. The previous alarms were later filled out for the suppression companies which brought more personnel to the scene. Four counties were represented at this incident which included units from 6 MABAS Divisions.
The wind carried embers into the grass area behind the home igniting a prairie fire which spread to a large area near the electric transmission lines. This prompted a Special Alarm for brush fire assets.
In addition to the units listed above, there were engines from Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, Des Plaines, Rolling Meadows and Elgin.

Inverness house fire goes to 3 alarms for Palatine Rural FPD

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.
