On the early morning of Friday, June 2nd, 2017, the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District (LRFPD) responded to a report of an ATV on fire at 24341 Elm Road. Shortly after arriving, a follow-up call informed dispatchers that the fire had spread to the attached garage. Lake Forest Engine 422 was the first to arrive and reported a fully involved garage fire. LRFPD Engine 52, Squad 51, and Battalion 51 quickly followed, and all three units used their entire water tanks in the initial attack. Countryside Engine 411 joined with the Lincolnshire crews, also supplying water inline.
The home was located in an unincorporated area of Lake Forest, where no hydrants were available. Upon arrival, Battalion 51 upgraded the alarm to a Code 4 for a working fire and activated a MABAS Box Alarm, bringing in multiple water tankers and additional fire suppression units. Portable tanks were delivered by Long Grove and Countryside tankers. While Long Grove drafted from the portable tanks to supply the engines at the scene, tankers from Countryside, Wauconda, Grayslake, and Palatine Rural FPD transported water from a nearby hydrant about a mile away.
The fire was primarily contained within the garage but extended into the house and attic. The response demonstrated excellent coordination among multiple fire departments, highlighting the challenges of rural firefighting without immediate access to municipal water sources.
Numerous photos captured the intensity of the fire, including images of the roof being vented, flames visible through the garage, and firefighters working tirelessly to contain the blaze. The scene showed long hose lays, water tankers dumping into portable tanks, and emergency vehicles on the ground.
