Barn fire in Mettawa, 1-9-18

July 09, 2025

On Monday afternoon, January 9, 2018, firefighters from Libertyville and surrounding areas responded to a barn fire at 14060 Old School Road in Mettawa. The first unit on the scene was Countryside Chief 4100, who confirmed a working fire. Fire companies quickly connected to a hydrant across the street, successfully protecting nearby structures. Unfortunately, the four-stall barn was completely destroyed. While the horses managed to escape, some smaller animals did not survive the blaze. The alarm was later upgraded to a Box Alarm for additional resources, and the full box assignment was completed shortly after. The response included two engine companies, a quint, an ambulance, and a battalion chief from Libertyville. Additional units came from Countryside, Knollwood, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Gurnee, and Wauconda. A Lincolnshire-Riverwoods squad also arrived, along with chiefs from Countryside, Lake Forest, Mundelein, and Libertyville. The coordinated effort showcased the strength of the regional fire response system. Several photos from the scene are available, including images of firefighters at work, damaged property, and emergency vehicles. These visuals capture the intensity of the incident and the dedication of the responders. More photos can be viewed at [Shapirophotography.net](http://shapirophotography.net).
