Dog dies, large home valued at $1 million a ‘total loss’ after extra-alarm fire in Barrington Hills© Provided by Lake and McHenry County Scanner
A family dog died during a fire that prompted the response of more than a dozen fire departments and left a large home, worth approximately $1 million, a total loss in Barrington Hills.
The Fox River Grove Fire Protection District responded around 2:01 p.m. Thursday to the 0-10 block of Cross Timber Road in Barrington Hills for a report of a structure fire.
Firefighters arrived in five minutes to find a garage attached to a residence heavily engulfed in flames, according to Fox River Grove Deputy Fire Chief Eldee Jackson.
The incident was upgraded to a box alarm through the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS), Jackson said.
Multiple fire departments were called to the scene, which was located in an area that did not have fire hydrants nearby.
The incident was later upgraded to the third alarm level through MABAS, bringing even more departments to the scene.
The fire spread from the attached garage throughout the 4,300-square-foot home.
Jackson said the family’s pet dog died in the fire. No injuries to residents or firefighters were reported.
The home, valued at $1 million, appears to be a total loss, Jackson said.

Tonight’s meeting agenda was posted sometime after noon today, which is a violation of the Illinois Open Meetings Act which requires regular meeting agendas be posted at least 48 hours in advance of meetings. That will not stop the meeting from going forward since the Board doesn’t care, but we wanted to make note that fact.
