Saturday, the Palatine Fire Department responded to a brush fire in the Cook County Forest Preserve area, located roughly between Lake-Cook Road and Rand Road. The incident took place near Dee Road, just west of Rand Road off Lake-Cook. Palatine’s Battalion 8 arrived on scene with Engine 82 and Lake Zurich Engine 4. Upon arrival, they found flames burning through tall grass in an area that is mostly marshland, with several feet of wet ground making it difficult to navigate. Due to the challenging terrain, brush rigs could not be used, so firefighters had to approach on foot until the Cook County Forest Preserve District Wildland Team arrived. They brought several pickup trucks equipped with skid-mounted units, along with an ATV fitted with a small tank and booster line to help control the fire. The fire was in a large field with muddy, marshy conditions, making suppression efforts even more difficult. Palatine and Lake Zurich crews stretched hundreds of feet of attack lines to tackle the fire and protect nearby homes and businesses. Larry Shapiro, a local photographer, spent several hours at the scene capturing images of the response. As the fire spread due to strong winds, additional resources were called in. After three hours of intense work, Palatine activated a MABAS Brush Fire Box Alarm to bring in more personnel and allow their crews to rest. The fire remained active into the evening, with high winds continuously pushing the flames forward. Conditions were extremely dry, with low humidity and strong gusts creating ideal conditions for wildfires. As the fire grew in intensity, more units were dispatched to prevent it from reaching any structures. At one point, the flames threatened businesses along Rand Road, prompting increased efforts to contain the blaze. Palatine Engine 82 was among five units stationed at a car dealership near Rand Road and Lake-Cook Road. Positioned on a hydrant, the engine supplied a ladder truck with 800 feet of attack line to reach the fire zone. Despite the challenges, firefighters managed to keep the fire from spreading to any buildings. By around 10 p.m., the box alarm was lifted as the fire was under control. More photos and a video from the scene will be available in a gallery on Sunday, offering a closer look at the response and the impact of the fire.
