Excerpts from wgntv.com:

In the early darkness that comes with winter, a massive fire lit up the sky over Kildeer, visible for miles. A multi-story home was engulfed in flames and is now uninhabitable. Fire officials believe the structure may be a total loss. The scale of the fire required help from a dozen neighboring communities, as crews worked through the night to contain the blaze.

Firefighters used a dry hydrant system, pulling water from nearby retention ponds since there are no fire hydrants in the area. Lake Zurich Fire Chief David Pilgrad said the intensity of the flames forced crews to drench the side of a neighboring home as a precaution. Fortunately, all residents escaped safely and did not require medical attention. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but the community is coming together to support those affected.
