Barrington Box Alarm 11-23-11
The Barrington Fire Department was called around 8:00 PM this evening to a reported fire at 340 Weatherstone Road. The call came from a neighbor who spotted flames coming from outside the garage. When the first responding units arrived, they encountered heavy fire in the three-car garage, with flames already spreading up through the roof and into the main part of the house. A Box Alarm was quickly dispatched, bringing tankers to the non-hydranted neighborhood near Lake-Cook and Ela Roads.
Firefighters found the blaze in the garage attic and parts of the second-floor attic. Thanks to their swift response, the fire was contained before it could spread further into the home. Fortunately, both vehicles in the garage remained largely undamaged. The first engine from Barrington was positioned in the driveway, while the second engine set up in front of the house. A portable water tank was deployed, and the tankers maintained a steady water supply throughout the operation.
Larry Shapiro arrived on the scene after the fire had been brought under control. He captured several photos from the incident and has compiled a small gallery of additional images available HERE.
