Excerpts from Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District on Facebook:
BCFPD was dispatched to the 0-100 block of Liberty Drive in South Barrington for a report of an attached garage fully-involved with fire.Upon arrival, crews reported a single-family structure with a fully-involved garage and active fire extending to the kitchen.The alarm was immediately upgraded to a Code 4 working fire response.Crews made an aggressive transitional attack by fighting the fire with exterior and interior lines.Due to the amount of water and manpower needed to extinguish this fire, a MABAS box alarm was requested.A tender shuttle operation was implemented for water supply that was able to sustain 1,000 gallons-per-minute within one half hour of the alarm.The fire was confined and contained to the area involved upon our arrival with heavy smoke and water damage throughout the structure.Salvage operations were conducted as the incident was deescalating.The occupants were able to escape without any major injuries, and were evaluated by on-scene emergency medical services. There were no firefighters injured.The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Excerpts from wgntv.com:
In the darkness that comes earlier these days, flames lit up the sky for miles in Kildeer following a massive fire.
A multi-story home caught fire and is uninhabitable. The structure may be a total loss. The size of the fire necessitated a mutual aid response from a dozen neighboring communities. Firefighters used a dry hydrant where water is pulled from retention ponds because there are no fire hydrants in the area.
Lake Zurich Fire Chief David Pilgrad says that given the flames’ intensity, the exterior side of one of the adjacent homes had to be drenched as a precaution.
Everyone made it out of the home safely and did not require emergency care or hospitalization. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
