The Long Grove Fire Protection District (FPD) and neighboring fire departments were called to a serious house fire at 21605 N Tiffany Court in Kildeer just after 2:00 AM this morning. Witnesses reported heavy black smoke billowing from a large, two-story home, prompting the alarm to be upgraded to a MABAS Box Alarm. Moments later, a second alarm was issued as the situation quickly escalated. Within minutes, the entire structure was fully engulfed in flames, with towering fire reaching over 60 feet into the sky.
The residence was located in a remote subdivision with no nearby fire hydrants, complicating water supply efforts. As a result, the alarm was escalated to a third alarm, along with additional fifth alarms for water tenders. These units came from Cook, Lake, McHenry, and Kenosha counties, highlighting the scale of the response.
Water supply operations involved four portable tanks and dozens of tenders shuttling water from two fill sites. Engines from Lake Zurich and Lake Bluff were working in tandem, drafting water to supply a quint from Buffalo Grove, another from Barrington, and lines operated by Long Grove Squad 55. The coordinated effort showcased the professionalism and dedication of the responding crews.
Multiple photos captured the intensity of the blaze, including dramatic shots of the flames and the fire trucks in action. These images, taken by Larry Shapiro, provide a powerful visual record of the incident. While the cause of the fire is still under investigation, the community has already begun to rally around those affected, demonstrating resilience in the face of adversity. The fire remains a sobering reminder of the dangers faced by first responders and the importance of fire safety in residential areas.
