Investigators are searching for the cause of a fire that destroyed a vacant barn Saturday afternoon in Barrington Hills.

The Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District responded to the blaze in the 1700 block of Dundee Road (Route 68) at approximately 2 p.m., Fire Chief Scott Motisi said.

Firefighters arrived in less than six minutes and found smoke and fire coming from all sides of the 40-foot-by-40-foot multistory barn, the fire district reported.

After confirming the barn was unoccupied, firefighters extinguished the blaze then conducted search and salvage operations, with Cuba Township crews assisting with a backhoe.
