I arrived at the scene shortly after the fire was upgraded to a second alarm. The roof had already collapsed, and most of the flames were under control. The Knollwood quint was working in the driveway, and they were supplying water to Countryside’s tower. Fire departments that responded included:

• Engines – Waukegan, Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, Beach Park, Newport Township, Lake Villa, and Grayslake
• Trucks – Knollwood, Countryside, Lake Forest, Wauconda, and Lincolnshire-Riverwoods
• Squads – Deerfield-Bannockburn and Gurnee
• Ambulances – Lake Forest, North Chicago, Long Grove, Wheeling, and Highland Park
• Chiefs – Lake Forest, Highland Park, Countryside, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, and North Chicago

From the Chicago Tribune:

Lake Forest firefighters worked through the night to contain a large blaze that destroyed a mansion in the city early this morning.

Eric Kositzki, a Lake Forest firefighter, said the fire started just after midnight on Keswick Drive and was finally brought under control around 4:30 a.m.

Firefighters confirmed the house was completely lost. Battalion Chief Eric Montanello said the cause is still unknown, but foul play is not suspected at this time.

Officials are currently assessing the damage, with estimates suggesting the loss could be over $1 million. However, it may take several days before the full extent of the damage and the cause of the fire are known.

The fire took over an hour to bring under control, as the roof and second floor were fully engulfed. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the origin of the fire.

According to Lake County records, the home was valued at approximately $1.9 million and sold for over $2 million in 2008.

Thanks Dan
