    The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire District responded to a serious fire on Monday night at a home on Springhill Drive. According to the Daily Herald:

    No one was injured in a large fire that started in an attached garage and quickly spread to the rest of the house, causing major damage.

    Firefighters arrived around 8:50 p.m. at the two-story residence on the 1100 block of Spring Hill Drive and stayed on site until at least 10 p.m., battling intense flames that were shooting out of the roof.
