Box Alarm in Vernon Hills, 5-29-18
Countryside firefighters were dispatched to 285 E. Court of Shorewood in Vernon Hills on Tuesday evening after a fire broke out in the third-floor laundry room. Chief 4100 from Countryside Fire Department was the first to arrive and immediately noticed smoke coming from the top floor of the six-unit apartment building. As the situation escalated, the alarm was upgraded to a working fire, and then to a MABAS Box Alarm to bring in additional resources. Mundelein Engine 432 quickly arrived on scene and positioned its lines in front of the building to begin suppression efforts.
The fire caused significant damage, rendering the entire building uninhabitable. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, though the extent of the destruction is still being assessed. Residents were evacuated safely, and emergency crews worked tirelessly to contain the flames and prevent further spread.
Several photos captured the aftermath of the incident. One image shows smoke billowing from a balcony, while another highlights the arrival of Mundelein FD Engine 432. A photo also features a female police officer with her dog, who was rescued from the area during the emergency. These images provide a visual account of the intense response and the community's resilience in the face of the disaster.
A video of the event is also available for further review. The cause of the fire is under investigation, and local authorities are working closely with residents to ensure their safety and support during this difficult time.
