Libertyville 2nd Alarm fire, 3-15-14

This is from Larry Shapiro:

The Libertyville Fire Department responded to a barn fire on Bradley Road in Mettawa around 10:15 PM on Saturday. Units from Libertyville, Lake Forest, and Knollwood were dispatched. When they arrived, flames were already visible in one of the buildings on a large stable property at 855 N. Bradley Road. The Libertyville Quint 462, Engine 463, Engine 461, and the Libertyville tender entered through the north driveway, while the Lake Forest engine came in via the south driveway. Lake Forest had access to a hydrant on the street, and Knollwood tapped into another nearby to supply water to the Libertyville crews.

Before secure water sources were established, the Libertyville tender and the two engines worked together with the quint to control the fire. Within minutes, the alarm was upgraded to a Box Alarm to bring in more units, including additional water tenders. Fortunately, the fire was contained quickly, and the mutual aid tenders weren’t needed. A second alarm was called for extra manpower to assist with the extensive overhaul work.
