We respond to fire damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Lake County.

Round Lake Beach residents must be extra vigilant about fires during wildfire season. Our local team in Northwest Lake County responds to fire damage emergencies 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. We have the training, equipment, and experience to mitigate and restore fire damage quickly and efficiently. Creating defensible space around the perimeter of your property is one way to minimize the potential for wildfire damage.

The defensible space around your home should be a 100-foot radius from any structure. You are not required to cross your property line to clear the 100 feet, and the neighboring property owner may be required to clear the additional distance by the fire agency.

The National Fire Protection Association suggests choosing fire-resistant building materials and to limit the amount of flammable vegetation in three home ignition zones.

• Trim branches that overhang the home, porch, and deck
• Prune branches of large trees up to 6 to 10 feet from the ground
• Remove plants containing resins, oils, and waxes
• Use crushed stone or gravel instead of flammable mulches o to 5 feet around the house
• Keep your landscape in good condition
