The Round Lake, IL Fire Dept fights a house fire, deep snow and the cold as
tempatures dropped below zero. Ice with snow on top of it made venting the
roof very dangerous. Round Lake Engine Company 2623 responded from this
fire to assist the Fox Lake, IL Fire Dept. with another house fire in Fox Lakes
district. (Note the icy roads - Photos of that fire are below)

The Fox Lake, IL Fire Dept was called to the scene of a house fire. Firefighters
had to deal with heavy smoke conditions, below zero temperatures, deep
snow and no fire hydrants. Fox Lake firefighters made an attack and found
heavy fire in the basement. A Round Lake Engine Company pulled a 2nd line
and joined in the attack. The fire burnt into the walls and made its way into the
upstairs but was quickly extinguished. Tankers responded from Lake Villa,
Grayslake, Antioch and an Engine from Wauconda. (Note the steam coming
from the porta-tank after being exposed to the frigid air)
