The Fire Chief, Deputy Chief, Assistant Chief, Engine 47-2, Engine 47-5 and Tower 47 all made the response on the incident.

Engine 47-2 established a fill site on Red Fox Lane, and filled up water tenders to shuttle water to the scene of the fire.

Engine 47-5 went directly to the incident scene bringing 3000 gallons of water to help extinguish the barn fire.  Engine 47-5 made multiple trips to the scene hauling 3000 gallons of water at a time.
