At roughly 5:30AM on Thursday, a citizen reported a house on fire at 21660 Rainbow Road in Deer Park, IL. The Lake Zurich Fire Department, which provides coverage for Deer Park, responded along with mutual aid companies from several surrounding fire departments. On arrival, they found fire through the roof of a large, modern, mansion which has been vacant and for sale for several years.

The neighborhood is without fire hydrants, so the second engine dropped a portable tank while another engine dropped LDH to the main road where water tankers (tenders) would shuttle through and dump into a pair of portable tanks.

Fire damage was contained to the roof and attic area of origin, though the interior sustained a fair amount of smoke and water damage.
