This report comes from Larry Shapiro: The Countryside Fire Protection District (FPD) was alerted to a fully involved house fire in the area of Midlotian and Kruckenberg Roads in Hawthorn Woods after 11 PM on Saturday, November 8th, 2014. Upon confirmation of the address, it was discovered that the vacant home was located within the Lake Zurich Fire Protection District. However, Countryside units were already en route to the scene. The structure was one of several buildings on the property at 12124 Kruckenberg Road, which is currently being cleared for a new residential development. Access to the site was delayed due to two Jersey barriers blocking the road, which had to be moved before emergency crews could proceed. A large-scale water supply operation was set up using over a thousand feet of 5-inch hose. This involved the Long Grove Tanker 55, Countryside Tender 411, Lake Zurich Engine, and Countryside Engine 411. Additionally, a hydrant located behind the site was used to support a master stream from Countryside Tower 412 and a hand line.

The fire ultimately destroyed the structure, but no injuries were reported. More photos are available at shapirophotography.net.
