This morning, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District (LRFPD), along with nearby firefighting teams, were dispatched to 1505 Garden Court in unincorporated Lake County around noon on December 26th, 2017, due to reports of a house fire. As units approached the scene, they noticed a plume of smoke visible far ahead in the sky. Upon arrival, LRFPD's Battalion 51 discovered intense flames erupting from both the garage and the attic area. They immediately called for an upgraded response status to a working fire.
The initial report indicated that the house might have been vacant at the time of the fire, as it appeared to be under renovation. Unfortunately, the first available fire hydrant turned out to be non-functional. To maintain water pressure, LRFPD's Squad 51 connected lines while Buffalo Grove Engine 26 extended a large hose from the end of the block to ensure a steady water supply. Wheeling Tower 24 was positioned in front of the residence to assist with aerial operations.
Photographs taken by Dan McInerney and Larry Shapiro captured the intensity of the flames and the heavy smoke billowing from the structure. An aggressive interior attack managed to suppress the fire on the second floor and in the attic, while other lines focused on containing the blaze in the garage. As the situation escalated, the incident was elevated to a MABAS Box Alarm, which brought in reinforcements from multiple districts.
A preliminary list of responding units included LRFPD’s Battalion 51, Squad 51, Ambulance 51, Battalion 52, Engine 53, and others such as Wheeling Tower 24, Engine 42, and Ambulance 24. Additional support came from Buffalo Grove Engine 26 and Ambulance 26, Northbrook Engine 10, Prospect Heights Tower 9, Des Plaines Engine 61, Highland Park Engine 34, and various squads from Deerfield-Bannockburn and Gurnee. Chief officers from Libertyville and Countryside also coordinated efforts on-site.
Despite the challenges posed by the inoperable hydrant and severe weather conditions, firefighters worked diligently to contain the damage. The operation required significant coordination between multiple agencies to bring the fire under control. Photos of the aftermath reveal the extent of the destruction, highlighting the critical role played by all involved departments.
