On the early morning of Friday, June 2nd, 2017, the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District (LRFPD) responded to a call at 24341 Elm Road for an ATV on fire. Shortly after arriving, a follow-up call informed dispatchers that the fire had spread to the attached garage. Lake Forest Engine 422 was the first unit on scene and reported a fully involved garage fire. LRFPD Engine 52, Squad 51, and Battalion 51 quickly followed, with all three units exhausting their water supply during the initial attack. Countryside Engine 411 joined in, supplying water inline from their tank.
The home is located in an unincorporated area of Lake Forest, where no hydrants are available. Upon arrival, Battalion 51 upgraded the alarm to a Code 4 due to the working fire and initiated a MABAS Box Alarm, bringing in additional water tankers and fire suppression units. Portable tanks were deployed from Long Grove and Countryside tankers. While Long Grove firefighters drafted from these tanks to supply the engines on site, tankers from Countryside, Wauconda, Grayslake, and Palatine Rural FPD transported water from a nearby hydrant approximately one mile away.
The fire primarily remained contained within the garage, though it extended into the house and attic. The response involved multiple departments working together to manage the situation, showcasing the importance of inter-agency cooperation in rural areas without direct water access.
