Wonder Lake Fire Department Story
John Lambrechts and the Wonder Lake Fire Department
This story is sadly necessary, as the fire department in the town I bought my first house caused me a lot of problems. I live in Wonder Lake, Illinois. It is a nice community outside of Chicago, on the edge of the metro area.
Wonder Lake is beautiful, with unique homes built since the lake was formed via a man made dam in 1929. The dam was designed by the same firm who designed the Panama Canal.

I bought my home towards the end of the COVID pandemic and was excited to begin a healthy life in a beautiful area.
The fire department came to my house after I was worried about a friend of mine. I called the jail to see if she was there. Then McHenry County dispatches paramedics for no reason.
The paramedics lied to me to get me into the ambulance, when at the hospital they forced me into a psychiatric hospital with a 'mental health petition'.
I was not harming myself or anyone else.
When released from the psychiatric hospital I put in a phone complaint, which is completely legal. It is actually the recommended step when a fire department oversteps their authority.
I spoke to Chief Weber and calmly submitted my complaint.
Chief Weber did not like the phone call complaint and then he works with a private law firm Ottosen Law and McHenry County Sheriff after this phone call to indict me forcing me into the court system for no crime.

I have never defrauded or violated anyone in my life.
The jail also abused me,
- Stuck in a nasty cell for 24 hours a day
- Not allowed to shower for up to 7-10 days at a time
- fed the same meal every meal
- 2 unpalatable ham sandwich and an apple
- denied phone calls
- lost an entire year of my life
- defamed in my local community
These actions by my local government have caused me more damage than anyone.

I hope you judge me based on my actions and not what my government has done to me. This is not the first time that my government has done this to me.
My heart goes out to Iran, Hamas victims in Israel, Gaza, low income people worldwide, and all people abused by government.
Thank you, and know the authors on this site are all great people.

Best Regards,
John Lambrechts
