The Barrington Countryside FPD was called for a house fire at 2 Windridge Road in South Barrington today (5/18/15) around 1PM. Arriving units found sections of the cedar shake roof on fire and requested a MABAS Box Alarm. As the wind was prevalent, the alarm was upgraded to a 2nd Alarm and then a 3rd Alarm as companies were withdrawn front the house for an exterior attack.
Several hand lines were used, some applying foam. Firefighters went back into the house after a section of the roof was burned off to chase hot spots and extinguish the balance of the fire.
There was a sizable fire pit smoldering in the backyard, up wind of the house.
Some of the units at the scene included: Barrington Countryside with two engines and two tenders; engines from Barrington, Lake Zurich, Algonquin, Fox River Grove, Hanover Park, West Dundee, Schaumburg,and Carpentersville; trucks from Hoffman Estates, McHenry Twp, Countryside, and Palatine; squads from Libertyville and Cary; ambulances from Buffalo Grove and Long Grove; tenders from Long Grove, McHenry Twp, Nunda Rural, Crystal Lake, Prospect Heights, Palatine Rural, East Dundee, Bartlett, Wauconda, and Rutland-Dundee; MABAS Air 5 and the MESS Canteen.
Several contributors were at the scene.
