The Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District responded around 9:05 p.m. Sunday to the 50 block of Liberty Drive in South Barrington for a report of a structure fire.

The incident was upgraded to a working fire response to bring additional fire departments to the scene.

Crews made an aggressive transitional attack by fighting the fire with exterior and interior hose lines, fire officials said.

The large volume of fire and the amount of water needed to extinguish it led to the incident being upgraded to a MABAS Box Alarm.
