The location of a proposed third station at the Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District has officials at Barrington School District 220 concerned about traffic congestion and loud noises.

For $500,000, the fire protection district purchased an acre of land, which includes an existing home, at 36 E. Dundee Road, located between Barrington Middle School — Prairie Campus and the Early Learning Center at District 220.

The fire district has said it plans to turn the home into its third fire station but run limited operations out of the proposed facility.

But with the close proximity to District 220 schools, Barrington educators said they are working with officials at the fire district to address their concerns about increased traffic and noise if the station opens.
