Jeff Rudolph submitted images from an overnight fire in Bristol, Wi which is just over the border from Illinois. The fire occurred in a two-story house in an area without hydrants, so multiple alarms were struck for water tenders. The fire began in the rear of the house, and the family inside was alerted by smoke detectors, but the fire had already climbed the house and was traveling in two directions along the soffit.

10/24/13 8325 184th Av. Bristol, WI Box 52-61 up to the 4th alarm.

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.
