The mission of the Fire Department is to protect the lives and property of the residents in the Village of Barrington and Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District by providing exceptional emergency fire and medical services.

The Department will accomplish this mission by maintaining low response times and maintaining a professional and highly trained workforce. The Department will strive to maintain a positive working relationship and an equitable intergovernmental agreement between the Village and the District so that residents of both are able to benefit from high quality Fire Services at a cost that is lower than either agency could provide by itself.
