This is from Tyler Tobolt:
On November 26th, 2013, the Woodstock Fire Department was called to a possible barn fire at 16812 Kunde Road in Union. Upon arrival, crews found a fully involved hay barn. At 6:40 pm, command activated MABAS Box #5-73 for the second level. The units that responded included a Crystal Lake engine, a Marengo engine, a Union tanker, a McHenry tanker, a Cary tanker, a Harvard squad, a Wonder Lake squad, a Huntley RIT chief and engine, EMA, and the Salvation Army. Command units were a Fox Lake engine, Marengo EMS, Woodstock chief, and Nunda Rural tanker.Shortly after, at 6:48 pm, command upgraded to the third alarm. Additional resources included a Wauconda engine, the Nunda Rural tanker, a Hebron tanker, an Algonquin truck, a McHenry squad with a cascade, and a Harvard chief.About 7 pm, command escalated to the fourth alarm, specifically for tankers. This brought in a Hampshire tanker, a Spring Grove tanker, a Fox River Grove tanker, and a Richmond tanker. Firefighters were battling a large, fully engulfed hay barn with some exposure. All tankers were actively supplying multiple attack lines. Around 1.5 hours into the incident, command requested the fifth alarm for engines only, which added a Rutland-Dundee engine and an engine from Walworth, Wisconsin. The MABAS Box was eventually stood down around 9 pm, but crews were still on scene working late into the night.Thanks, Tyler.
