New Signs Installed at District Fire Stations

Trustees saw opportunities to more clearly identify station locations

The Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District (BCFPD) has completed installation of distinctive new signage at its fire stations in Barrington Hills and Lake Barrington, part of a long-term effort by District officials to upgrade facilities to better serve the public.

The new signs at Fire Station #2, 120 W. Algonquin Road, Barrington Hills, and Fire Station #3, 22222 N. Pepper Road, Lake Barrington, are part of a comprehensive program undertaken by District officials, who saw the need to more clearly identify the locations of the District’s two primary stations.

“The fire station signs are designed to help District residents identify the fire stations that serve them,” explains BCFPD President Tom Rowan.  “The signs also make it easier for residents to access emergency services at the stations, if needed.”
