Round Lake Beach home destroyed by fire

A Round Lake Beach home that was in the process of being occupied was destroyed by fire Friday evening.

The Greater Round Lake Fire Protection District said the fire occurred on the 1000 block of West Bonnie Brook Lane.

Neighbors reported the ranch house was on fire around 7:30 p.m.

"We had a wind-driven fire with flames through the roof of the home," said Greater Round Lake Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Tony Carraro.

The fire was ultimately upgraded to a box alarm, with Fox Lake, Lake Villa, Round Lake, Wauconda, Antioch, Gurnee, Lake Zurich and Mundelein units assisting.

Carraro said there were no injuries. He said the tenants were in the process of moving in.

"They had their belongings there, but they hadn't moved in," he said.

The fire is under investigation.
