Libertyville 2nd Alarm fire, 3-15-14
This is from Larry Shapiro: The Libertyville Fire Department was called around 10:15 PM on Saturday to a barn fire on Bradley Road in Mettawa. Units from Libertyville, Lake Forest, and Knollwood were dispatched. Upon arrival, firefighters found flames inside one building on the property of a large stable 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. Firefighters from Lake Forest had access to a hydrant on the street, and Knollwood tapped into another hydrant near the north driveway to supply water to the Libertyville units. 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 resources, including additional water tenders. Fortunately, the fire was contained well enough that the mutual aid water tenders weren’t needed. A second alarm was then requested for extra manpower to assist with the extensive overhaul work at the scene. Lake Forest firefighters operate a deck gun from the southwest corner of the barn.
