Libertyville 2nd Alarm fire, 3-15-14

June 23, 2025

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. Upon arrival, firefighters found flames engulfing one building on the property of a large stable at 855 N. Bradley Road. 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 at 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 two engines worked alongside the quint to contain the fire.

Within minutes, the alarm was upgraded to a Box Alarm to bring in additional units, including water tenders. Fortunately, the fire was contained well enough that the mutual aid water tenders weren’t needed. A second alarm was called for extra manpower to assist with the extensive overhaul work.
