Fox Lake house fire 2-14-11

The Fox Lake Fire Department responded to a structure fire at **36378 N. Wesley Road** on Monday before 11 a.m. Upon arrival, the first units encountered heavy smoke coming from an occupied, single-story frame building. The Round Lake Fire Department was also dispatched for mutual aid, sending an engine to support the scene. Jeff Rudolph captured several photos of the incident, providing a visual record of the emergency response. His images show the intensity of the fire and the efforts made by firefighters to control it. One image shows "Sector A" after the fire was knocked down, highlighting the damage left behind. Another photo features a Fox Lake firefighter inspecting the attic for hot spots, a critical step in ensuring the fire is fully extinguished. A key detail in the response was that the area lacked hydrants, so Fox Lake Engine 2222 drew water from a portable tank. The engine, built by Alexis on a Spartan chassis, was the first to arrive on the scene. In the background, the Fox Lake squad was seen preparing for further action. Round Lake FPD Engine 2214, which arrived as part of mutual aid, was constructed by US Tanker on a Spartan chassis. This collaboration between departments ensured a more effective response to the incident. Another photo highlights the unique features of Fox Lake Engine 2222, including a heated enclosure for the pump operator, designed for comfort and efficiency during long operations. A firefighter stands by with the squad, ready for any next steps. One of the most notable vehicles at the scene was Fox Lake Tender 2264, nicknamed “Tankzilla.” Built by Alexis on a Spartan chassis, this tender featured an enclosed operator’s console, making it both powerful and versatile. The event serves as a reminder of the importance of preparedness, teamwork, and quick response in emergency situations. Thanks to the efforts of both the Fox Lake and Round Lake fire departments, the situation was brought under control, minimizing potential damage and risk.
