Barn, tractors destroyed in blaze
HARVARD – No one was injured in an evening blaze that destroyed a barn and two tractors Friday.
Around 8:23 p.m., crews from the Harvard Fire Protection District responded to fire at 1202 Brookdale Road in Harvard, according to a news release. When they arrived, they discovered a large barn engulfed in flames.
The fire was so substantial that Harvard Fire sounded the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System, or MABAS, for assistance from neighboring agencies.
No one was injured, but the fire caused about $30,000 in damages, the release said. The barn and two tractors were destroyed.
Emergency crews from Hebron, Huntley, Marengo, Wonder Lake, Woodstock, North Boone, Union, Capron, Fontana, Wis., Sharon, Wis., and the McHenry County Sheriff's Department assisted at the scene and in change of quarters.
