This is the first of several posts covering the massive fire that broke out at 24 Rolling Hills Drive in Barrington Hills on Saturday, April 18, 2015. The incident involved multiple special alarms and a large-scale response from across the region. A listener from radioman911.com shared the following detailed report: Barrington – Countryside FPD – House Fire – 24 Rolling Hills Drive Full Response List: COQ: Wheeling Ambulance 24 / Deerfield Engine 19 to Station 1 – Rolling Meadows Ambulance 16 / Streamwood Engine 33 to Station 2 Here's an update from Larry Shapiro: The house was occupied by renters who were burning leaves in the afternoon when the fire spread to a tree, sending embers onto the roof. Strong winds caused the flames to spread quickly. Upon arrival of Barrington and Countryside units, a second alarm was called, followed shortly by an upgrade to a fourth alarm for tenders only. A fifth alarm was later requested, along with interdivisional alarms for a tender task force from Divisions 2 and 5. Additional suppression companies later arrived, increasing the number of personnel on site. The wind carried embers into the grass behind the home, igniting a prairie fire that spread near electric transmission lines, prompting a special alarm for brush fire assets. In addition to the units listed above, engines from Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, Des Plaines, Rolling Meadows, and Elgin were also on scene. Several photos from the scene are available at shapirophotography.net. These images capture the intensity of the fire and the extensive efforts of the responding crews.
