The family of a man who died in a fire last year has filed suit against twenty-one Illinois fire departments and two chief officers claiming they failed to effect his rescue. Aric Evan Tashjian McClure died on August 4, 2017 in a fire that trapped him in a second floor apartment in Round Lake, Illinois. He was 33 years old.

According to news reports, firefighters responded to the scene just before 5 p.m. and the fire was extinguished by about 8:30 p.m. However, because the building was considered too dangerous to enter, McClure’s body was not recovered until the following morning.

McClure’s estate filed the 140-page 52-count complaint in Lake County Circuit Court on August 2, 2018, just before the one year anniversary of the fire. Named in the suit as defendants are twenty-one fire departments, MABAS Division 4, Fire Chief Greg Formica and Fire Marshal Tony Breuscher of the Greater Round Lake Fire Protection District, the building’s owner Scott Gothann, and Gothann’s son-in-law, Matthew Sheppard. Gothann and Sheppard were reportedly were making plumbing repairs to the building when the fire broke out.
