From the McHenry Township Fire Protection District:
MTFPD Fire on Elmleaf
On June 11th at approximately 11:15am, the McHenry Township Fire Protection District (MTFPD) was dispatched to the 4400 block of Elmleaf Dr. in Unincorporated McHenry County for a reported structure fire. Crews arrived within 4 minutes to find a one story single family home with light smoke coming from the attached garage.
All residents were out of the house prior to arrival.
Once the crews forced entry to the manual garage door, they were met with heavy smoke.
The alarm was upgraded to a Working Fire, which brought in additional resources.
Crews began an aggressive interior attack, while also searching the rest of the home for victims.
The fire was brought under control within 10 minutes and was contained to the garage.
There was minor smoke damage to the interior of the home.
There were no civilian or firefighter injuries.
The fire is currently under investigation and the home is deemed habitable.
MTFPD was assisted by Antioch, Cary, Crystal Lake, Fox Lake, Round Lake, Nunda, Richmond, Spring Grove, Wauconda, and Wonder Lake fire departments either on scene or covering our stations.
