fire scene with water tender operations

All posts tagged fire scene with water tender operations

Libertyville (IL) firefighters were called to an address in Green Oaks (their fire district, an unincorporated area of Lake County) after a smoke alarm woke the resident. He looked out the window and saw flames from a van parked alongside the attached garage. The first engine pulled into the driveway six minutes later and dumped the tank through a deck gun as flames were already through the roof. The area has no hydrants and they were subsequently nursed by their tanker and then other tankers shuttled into place. There were no injuries and the fire was kept from communicating to the house.

June 22, 2015 14:35, Wellesley Township, Linwood, and St Clements stations were dispatched to 5903 Ament Line for a fire in the shop. Linwood reported smoke visible from the hall, and Wellesley was added to the call at this time. Linwood reported a large shop/garage fully-involved on arrival, with a large barn containing 150 head of cattle as an exposure. Two tankers were requested from neighboring Perth East station in Milverton. The fire was brought under control in an hour. A high hoe was brought in to pull the building apart.

Here’s my video from the house fire in Barrington Hills, IL 4/18/15

Occupants that are currently renting the property at 24 Rolling Hills Drive, in Barrington Hills, IL were burning leaves Saturday afternoon (4/18/15) when the fire communicated to a tree before sending embers onto the house. The wind then caused the fire to spread rapidly. A 2nd Alarm was requested on arrival of Barrington & Countryside FPD 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 neighboring Divisions 2 and 5. The previous alarms (which specified tenders only) 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 prompting a Special Alarm for brush fire assets.
