From wgntv.com:

In the early darkness of winter, a massive fire lit up the sky over Kildeer, visible for miles. A multi-story home was completely consumed by flames and is now uninhabitable. Authorities believe the structure may be a total loss. Due to the fire’s intensity, emergency crews from twelve neighboring communities were called in for support.

Firefighters used a dry hydrant system, drawing water from nearby retention ponds since there are no traditional fire hydrants in the area. Lake Zurich Fire Chief David Pilgrad explained that the extreme heat forced crews to drench the side of an adjacent home as a precautionary measure.

No one was injured during the incident, and all residents escaped safely without needing medical attention. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but the community remains grateful for the quick response and coordination among first responders.
