SOUTH BARRINGTON, IL – A single fire sprinkler extinguished an arson fire at the Eggology restaurant inside The Arboretum of South Barrington.
According to Fire Inspector Marc Quattrocchi, East Dundee Fire District, “The sprinkler system did exactly as designed. If it did not activate, extinguish the fire, and scare away the perpetrators with the activation of the fire alarm system, more damage or injuries could’ve occurred.” No injuries were reported.
