Firefighters from the Countryside Fire Protection District in Vernon Hills, IL and neighboring fire departments responded to a house fire at 5636 Oakwood Circle Saturday night just after 8:30PM (3/1/25).  The fire, reported to have begun in the rear of the structure, extended to the house. The neighborhood is without fire hydrants and required water to be shuttled to the scene by tankers (tenders). Firefighters initially took an offensive posture before having to transition to a defensive attack.

The alarm was upgraded to a MABAS Box Alarm for additional resources. An engine laid 1000′ of 4″ hose to the corner where they began drafting from two portable tanks.

The Barrington Countryside FPD (IL) responded to a house fire early this morning (5/3/18) at 83 Paganica Drive in Barrington Hills. A header was visible as units were en route and they found heavy fire from the second floor and mansard roof upon arrival. The resident had evacuated the house. The area is without hydrants.  The first engine and tanker pulled into the driveway with 4,000 gallons of water as the second engine dropped a line to the end of the street to initiate a drafting operation from three portable tanks. Fourteen tankers shuttled water for over two hours to supply several hand lines that were operating. The house sustained heavy damage and the fire’s origin is believed to be a lightning strike.
