Newport Township firefighters were called to a serious house fire this morning in the 35,000 block of N. Mill Creek Road in Wadsworth. The home is located far from the road and sits just behind I-94, right past the toll booth. Firefighters had to travel a long driveway to reach the scene, making it challenging to locate the fire initially.
Upon arrival, crews discovered a large two-story residence engulfed in flames on the upper level. Since the area lacks hydrants, the alarm was quickly escalated to a Box Alarm and then to a Second Alarm. A single engine and a 75-foot quint made their way up the driveway, while a relay operation was set up from the street. Three portable water tanks were used along the road, with two engines supplying 5-inch lines to both the engine and the quint on-site.
As the fire continued to spread, crews had to retreat and shift to a defensive strategy. Hand lines and an aerial pipe were deployed to control the blaze. Due to the high water demand and the long distances tenders had to travel for refills, the alarm was eventually upgraded to a Fourth Alarm to bring in more water tankers.
Several departments from Illinois and Wisconsin responded to the call, including Newport Township (2 engines, an ambulance, 2 tenders, and several chiefs), Wauconda, Round Lake, Zion, Antioch, Winthrop Harbor, Waukegan, Beach Park, Gurnee, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, Grayslake, Richmond, McHenry Township, Countryside, Lake Villa, Fox Lake, Lake Forest, and the Quad 2 Rehab Unit and Mobile Command Post. From Wisconsin, departments such as Bristol, Trevor, South Shore, Salem, Pleasant Prairie, Paris, Twin Lakes, and Somers also sent units.
The fire caused significant damage to the upper levels of the home, with visible destruction from both the front and rear. Multiple photos from Larry Shapiro show the intensity of the blaze, the efforts of the firefighters, and the extensive response from neighboring departments.
