3-Alarm fire in Crystal Lake, 11-21-14

    This message comes from Tyler Tobolt:

    Around 10:40 pm on November 21st, the Crystal Lake Fire Department was called to 5116 Mt. Thabor Rd for a fully engulfed barn fire. The department responded with Engines 341, 343, 344, Ambulances 351, 353, 354, Battalion 330, Chief 303, Chief 305, and Tender 371. They also received automatic aid from Algonquin, including a chief, a tower ladder, and a McHenry engine as RIT (Rapid Intervention Team).
    Shortly after, Ambulance 353 arrived and reported a fully involved pole barn with an exposure. They requested MABAS Box 5-371 at the second alarm level. Additional units were en route, including engines from Huntley and Barrington Countryside, tenders from Woodstock, Wauconda, Wonder Lake, Fox River Grove, and McHenry. A Barrington truck, a Cary squad with a cascade system, EMS units from Carpentersville, West Dundee, and East Dundee, and chiefs from McHenry (RIT), Woodstock, and Huntley were also on their way. Special equipment included Rehab South, an Algonquin Safety Officer, a Cary Safety Officer, AMA 56, a Huntley Safety Officer, and the Salvation Army Canteen.
    Later, a Lake Zurich engine and a Pingree Grove ambulance were moved to Fire Station 1. About an hour and a half into the incident, command upgraded to the third alarm, bringing in more resources: a Lake Zurich engine, tenders from Richmond, Marengo, and Union, a Cary chief, Rehab North, Air 5, and a Fox Lake engine for change of quarters. After the third alarm, three additional engine companies arrived from Hampshire, Rutland Dundee, and South Elgin.
    These photos were taken from a subdivision just west of the scene.
    Thanks, Tyler Tobolt.

    It’s always impressive to see how quickly local departments respond and coordinate during large incidents. The scale of this fire required multiple agencies and a lot of teamwork. It’s also interesting to see the community’s involvement, like the Salvation Army and safety officers, which shows how prepared everyone is for such emergencies. If you’re nearby, it’s definitely something to keep an eye on—especially when the skies are dark and the flames are high. Thanks again, Tyler, for sharing these great shots.
