I arrived at the scene shortly after the fire was upgraded to a second alarm. The roof had already collapsed, and most of the flames were under control. Knollwood’s quint was working in the driveway, supplying water to Countryside’s tower. Fire departments that responded included:
- Engines: Waukegan, Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, Beach Park, Newport Township, Lake Villa, and Grayslake
- Trucks: Knollwood, Countryside, Lake Forest, Wauconda, and Lincolnshire-Riverwoods
- Squads: Deerfield-Bannockburn and Gurnee
- Ambulances: Lake Forest, North Chicago, Long Grove, Wheeling, and Highland Park
- Chiefs: Lake Forest, Highland Park, Countryside, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, and North Chicago

From the Chicago Tribune:
Lake Forest firefighters worked through the night to contain a massive blaze that destroyed a mansion in the city early today.
Eric Kositzki, a Lake Forest firefighter, said the fire started just after midnight and wasn’t fully under control until around 4:30 a.m. Firefighters confirmed that the house was a total loss.
Battalion Chief Eric Montanello told reporters that the cause is still unknown, but foul play is not suspected at this time. Officials are still assessing the damage, with estimates ranging from $1 million or more.
The fire took over an hour to bring under control, as the roof and second floor were fully engulfed. Investigators are continuing their work to determine the origin of the fire.
According to Lake County records, the home was valued at about $1.9 million, and it sold for over $2 million in 2008.
