This is from Eric Haak:
On Monday, February 20th, the Pembroke Fire Protection District responded to a third-alarm interdivisional brush fire. The incident began around 10:30 AM and continued well into the afternoon. The area affected was approximately one square mile of overgrown vegetation and woodlands located between the 5000 and 6000 south roads, east of Illinois Route 56. Several structures were at risk during the event.
The third image shows the arrival of the interdivisional response team, while the fourth image captures the use of a MABAS 19 drone to monitor the fire from above. This technology proved especially useful given the hilly terrain, offering a clear view of the fire’s progression and helping firefighters make informed decisions.
For those unfamiliar with the area, Pembroke is a rural township located southeast of Kankakee, Illinois. Many residents live in older homes and mobile trailers, and due to the lack of garbage collection, trash burning is common in the region. These types of brush fires are not unusual here.
The images showing flames depict back-burning efforts conducted along the southern side of East 5000 Road to control the spread of the fire. Below are additional photos taken by Eric Haak during the incident.
