Firefighters battled fire in a 4-car garage in Killdeer, IL 3-5-25. The home was located in an area without hydrants and over a 1/4 down a dead-end street. A rural water supply operation was setup to resupply firefighters after they exhausted almost 5,000 gallons of water from the 1st three suppression rigs that arrived.
Thirteen tankers were involved, and firefighters kept the fire to the garage with minimal damage to the living space.
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.
