On 4/3/2012 around midnight, Tinley Park was dispatched to a reported silo fire in the 7300 block of 191st Street in unincorporated Will County.  Truck Co. 204 arrived to find an abandoned barn fully involved communicating to an attached silo.  Engine Co. 202 hit the fire with their deck gun while crews advanced three handlines to extinguish the remains of the barn and a smaller shed nearby.  Mutual-aid was received from Frankfort, Mokena, Country Club Hills, and Hazel Crest.
