This is from Tyler Tobolt:
On the night of November 26th, 2013, the Woodstock Fire Department was called to a possible barn fire at 16812 Kunde Road in Union. When crews arrived, they found a fully involved hay barn. At 6:40 PM, command requested 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 included a Fox Lake engine, Marengo EMS, the Woodstock chief, and a Nunda Rural tanker.Shortly after, at 6:48 PM, command escalated 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 7:00 PM, the call was upgraded to the fourth alarm—this time only for tankers. This brought in a Hampshire tanker, a Spring Grove tanker, a Fox River Grove tanker, and a Richmond tanker. Firefighters were working on a large, fully engulfed hay barn with some exposure to nearby structures. All tankers were actively supplying multiple 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, WI. The MABAS Box was eventually removed around 9:00 PM, but crews were still on scene and working hard at that time.Thanks, Tyler.
