Excerpts from the DailyHerald.com:
The Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District entered into an automatic aid agreement with the Huntley Fire Protection District this week.
Under the terms of the agreement, Huntley will send an ambulance to a structure fire that happens within Barrington Countryside’s borders. In exchange, Barrington Countryside will send a fire engine to all fires that happen within Huntley’s borders.
Barrington Countryside now has automatic aid agreements or partnerships with 12 Northwest suburban fire service agencies.

As they pass thru Carpentersville (twice), West Dundee & East Dundee. What about the neighbors to the east and south, especially since Barrington-Countryside is moving to NWCD very very soon. Pretty soon they’ll want Sqd 7 from CFD!

It’s only a 30 minute ride. What’s the issue? Not like they’re gonna have the fire out. They can help extinguish the ruins or set up the twentieth fold-a-tank.

Who’s next, Rockford? Just box everything like Crystal Lake does.

That’s one hell of a run for Barrington to Huntley, considering there are 2 Algoquin/LITH stations along the way on Algonquin road
