Late Sunday evening, just before 8 PM, the Lake Zurich Fire Department received an urgent call about a fire at a residence across the street. Within minutes, the chief and the first responding engine arrived on the scene at 21716 W. Glendale Road. It was a 2-1/2 story wooden structure, and the flames were intense in the front area of the house. Lake Zurich Engine 3 was the first unit to arrive, and they quickly managed to get water on the fire. Using a deck gun, they managed to bring down most of the fire which was burning through the cedar shingles on the exterior walls. As they prepared to enter the house with a hose line, they were informed that a resident might still be inside.
The emergency response was upgraded to a second alarm due to the lack of nearby hydrants in the unincorporated subdivision. All residents were quickly accounted for at a neighbor's house. Within 20 minutes, the bulk of the fire was under control, and crews began thorough overhauling efforts. There were two injuries requiring hospital transport—one was a resident, and the other was a neighbor who collapsed on the lawn. A firefighter also sustained an injury to his arm but was evaluated on-site and released without further transport. Before the second patient could be taken to the hospital, concerns arose about potential ambulance availability since all units were busy with patient care, rehabilitation, or firefighting duties. This prompted a third alarm to bring in additional ambulances and change of quarters companies.
When the firefighter was hurt, there was worry that he too might need transport, leading to a fourth alarm being called in specifically for more ambulances.
Multiple fire departments responded to the scene, including Lake Zurich, Lake Villa, Long Grove, Round Lake, Libertyville, Deerfield, Palatine Rural, Palatine, Buffalo Grove, Wheeling, Arlington Heights, Fox Lake, Nunda Rural, Mundelein, Wauconda, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, the Quad 2 Command Unit, Countryside, Schaumburg, Highland Park, Lake Bluff, Barrington, and Cary.
