Algonquin Oct. 24, 2008 - 2-Alarm Fire Destroys Home

Lake in the Hills Battalion Chief John Greene reported to the Courier News that the fire appeared to have been cause by the preliminary disposal of smoking materials outside on the deck area. The fire appears to have started on the deck and spread through the house rather quickly.

Departments assisting ALFD were Carpentersville, West Dundee, East Dundee, Rutland, Elgin, Hoffman Estates, Cary, Crystal Lake, Marengo, Hampshire, Huntley and Pingree Grove. (If I left anyone out.......please let me know!)

No one was injured in the fire.
