On the afternoon of August 11, 2022, Barrington and Countryside firefighters were quickly dispatched to two separate house fires reported within minutes of each other. Fire crews arrived at both locations almost simultaneously—one on Penny Drive, which turned out to be unfounded, and another at 4 McGlashen Drive in South Barrington. Upon arrival, responding police officers reported heavy fire in the garage, following a loud explosion that had been heard by nearby residents.
The incident was initially classified as a Code 3, but it was soon upgraded to a Code 4 Working Fire. As the situation escalated, a MABAS Box Alarm was called in, and firefighting efforts transitioned to a defensive strategy. Just minutes later, a second alarm was also requested due to the growing intensity of the blaze.
Firefighters managed to contain the fire primarily to the garage and kitchen areas, preventing it from spreading further into the large home. The property is located in a gated community without access to hydrants, so a tanker shuttle was organized to supply water for the fire attack. A total of twelve tankers were deployed, including units from Barrington Countryside, Long Grove, Prospect Heights, Round Lake, Bartlett, Nunda, Libertyville, Fox River Grove, Crystal Lake, Wauconda, Huntley, and McHenry Township.
At the scene, fire apparatus included trucks from Hoffman Estates and Palatine, squads from Cary and Schaumburg, and engines from Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, Carpentersville, Algonquin, Buffalo Grove, Grayslake, Lincolnshire, and Lake Zurich, along with three units from Barrington Countryside. Ambulances were provided by Barrington, Mount Prospect, and Des Plaines to assist with any injuries or medical needs.
Numerous photos captured the intense response, showing firefighters working tirelessly under challenging conditions. These images, taken by Larry Shapiro, highlight the dedication and coordination required during such large-scale emergencies.
