Lake Bluff 2-11 Alarm
This morning, a fire broke out in Lake Bluff, and by the time the first units arrived at 113 Woodland Avenue, heavy smoke could already be seen billowing from the structure. The alarm was quickly escalated to a MABAS Box Alarm even before the first responders reached the scene. Lake Bluff received immediate assistance from Knollwood and Lake Forest on the initial call, while additional support arrived from neighboring departments including Highwood, Highland Park, North Chicago, Libertyville, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, and Countryside. As the situation worsened and flames began to break through the roof, a second alarm was called approximately 30 minutes later. The older Tudor-style home required extensive overhaul efforts, which involved multiple teams rotating in and out to manage the situation effectively.
I happened to be nearby when the call came in and arrived shortly after the initial units. I managed to snap some photos, which I’ll share in an upcoming update. Tim Olk was also quick to arrive and contributed several images that capture the intensity of the response.
The first truck on the scene was Knollwood Truck 44, which responded alongside Lake Bluff on most alarms. Lake Bluff Engine 519, a 2007 Pierce Saber, was the first engine on-site, positioned in the ‘A’ Sector directly in front of the burning building. Highwood sent their 2001 HME Smeal 75' quint on the Box Alarm, with Truck 37 arriving shortly after.
As the fire intensified, firefighters worked tirelessly to contain it. At one point, flames burst through the roof, and crews focused on extinguishing any remaining fire in the lower soffit areas while others tackled the blaze inside the second floor, where it had already been largely brought under control. Smoke continued to seep from the front of the house as teams moved into overhaul mode, ensuring all potential hotspots were addressed.
Safety measures were a top priority throughout the operation. Firefighters carefully set up ladders on the roof to ensure proper ventilation before accessing it for further intervention. One image captures a firefighter fully engulfed in smoke as they worked to ventilate the second floor, while another shows Highwood firefighter Karl Klotz regrouping in the rear before heading back in for more overhaul work.
These photos provide a glimpse into the coordinated efforts of local fire departments as they worked together to manage this challenging situation. It’s always inspiring to see how communities come together in moments like these, prioritizing safety above all else.
