Crystal Lake Professional Firefighter's Local 3926

We need your help to identify the person depicted in this composite sketch. On 2/10/20 at approximately 10:22am, officers were dispatched to the area of 1350-1370 block of Cunat Court for the report of a male suspect that approached two different women in the parking lot. During one occasion, the male suspect requested that the female expose herself in exchange for money. These two cases may be connected to an incident that occurred in Pingree Grove several weeks ago. Anyone with information is asked to call the Lake in the Hills Police Department at 847-658-5676, send us a private message on Facebook, or submit an anonymous tip via Nixle (text TIP LITHPD to 888777).

Today Illinois State Police lost another officer. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends, and the Illinois State Police. People ask us why we bring so many rigs to calls, and have traffic blocked for long periods of time. The reason is for the safety of everyone working on the scene from the Fire Department, Police Department, and even the tow truck workers. We use our rigs to give use a safe working area. Scott's Law is a real thing. If you see flashing lights, please pull over. It will only be for a couple of seconds.
With the potential severity of storms today please be careful and know difference between these.
Don't forget to turn your clocks 1 hour ahead this Sunday for Daylight Savings, and also to change your batteries in your smoke detectors.
It's -23° out at 5:00 am in Crystal Lake and many businesses are closed today, Crystal Lake Firefighter are still responding to any and all emergencies.
Don't forget this helpful hint, especially since we have blowing snow from our storm last night
We would like to say Thank You to our brothers and sisters in blue today. We have a great working relationship with the Crystal Lake Police and also the McHenry County Sheriff's office.
It is very important for the health and wellness of firefighters to be top notch. Eating healthy and working out are important. Not only does our turn-out gear weight on average 45 lbs, then add our tools (75lbs), and now some firefighters have to advance hose lines through houses.
This is Brother Darrell out Ring the Bell for the Salvation Army. Brother Darrell for the past +10 years has donated +40 hours of his personal time each year to raise money for this great cause. He also organized Firefighter Ring the Bell Day, which is the Saturday before Christmas across the county and some surround counties. Keep it up Brother!
On behalf of Crystal lake Professional Firefighters Local 3926 we send our condolences to Algonquin-Lake in the hills Local 3985 brothers and sisters. Please know that we are here to support your organization in any way we can.
Don't forget our clocks move forward tomorrow, March 11 at 2am. Which also means to check your smoke and/or carbon monoxide detectors also. The Nation Fire Protection Association (NFPA) states thats "3 out of 5 home fire deaths resulted from fires in properties without working smoke alarms". Smoke detector alarm failures usually resulted in missing, disconnected, or dead batteries.
Crystal Lake Firefighters were told last week during a volunteers breakfast that during the 2017 Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign our group raised over $14,000. Since 2006, we have raised over $130,000 for this great cause. The Red Kettle Campaign is a big part in yours and our community. Monies raised during this campaign help families with hunger, sheltering the homeless, making christmas possible for those families that can not afford it, and etc. THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed.
