Kitchener (ON) fire dispatch received multiple calls for 36 Keller Crescent reporting a fully involved house fire, November 25 at 1:20. P5 arrived on scene reporting heavy fire showing from the garage extending up to the second floor. They also had two cars on fire in the driveway and siding melting on the house on the E4 side. A third pumper was added to the call and Box 690 was paged at this time. A 1.5” line was pulled to make a fast attack on the fire. As other firefighters arrived, a 2.5” and 1.5” line were also pulled. The fire was knocked down in 10 minutes with no extension to the interior. I arrived on scene at approximately 1:50. Shot a quick video and one shot of front of building.

Shortly before 11AM Sunday, May 11th, a motorist reported a vehicle fire up against a garage at the corner of Riverwoods Road and Half Day Road (Route 22) in Lincolnshire, IL. Companies reported a dark header as they got on the road and the alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 for the confirmed fire that had spread to the attached garage and was threatening the home.

Deerfield-Bannockburn Engine 19 was first on the scene followed by Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Engines 51 and 52. A quick attack with a 2 1/2″ line darkened much of the fire and additional lines were put to use effectively holding the fire to the garage.

Units at the scene were Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Engines 51 & 52, Truck 53, Ambulances 52 & 53, Battalion 51, and Rehab 51 in addition to Deerfield-Bannockburn Engine 19, a Libertyville squad, Buffalo Grove Tower 25, an ambulance from Lake Zurich, and Lake Forest Battalion 42

I arrived after the fire had been knocked down.
