A Bull Valley home became a total loss as the result of a structure fire Thursday night, according to a news release from the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District.

Assisting agencies included Marengo, Harvard, Hebron, Union, Wonder Lake, Huntley, McHenry, Algonquin, Fox River Grove, Pingree Grove, Cary, Nunda Rural, Richmond, Barrington and Antioch.
