House fire in South Barrington, 12-3-23
From the latest update on Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District's Facebook page:
This morning, BCFPD responded to a distress call at the 0-100 block of Liberty Drive in South Barrington regarding an attached garage fully engulfed in flames. Upon arriving at the scene, firefighters found a single-family home with both the garage and parts of the kitchen actively ablaze. The situation was quickly escalated to a Code 4 working fire response.
Firefighters launched an aggressive attack strategy, utilizing both external and internal firefighting lines to combat the blaze. Given the significant water and personnel requirements to extinguish such a fire, a mutual aid request was made through the MABAS system. This brought additional resources to the site, allowing for a robust tender shuttle operation to ensure a steady flow of water at over 1,000 gallons per minute within half an hour of the initial alarm.
By the time we arrived, the fire had been confined to the areas initially affected, though the structure sustained heavy smoke and water damage throughout. Salvage operations were initiated as the fire began to subside. Thankfully, the residents managed to evacuate safely and were assessed by EMS on-site. No major injuries were reported among the occupants or the firefighters involved.
The exact cause of the fire remains under investigation. Attached is a photo taken shortly after our arrival, showing the extent of the damage. Stay tuned for further updates as the situation unfolds.
