Firefighters on arrival discovered moderate smoke from the chimney and roof.” Two adults and two children were evacuated safely. During an interior attack, firefighters extinguished ‘heavy fire’ in the walls of the attic, according to the Naperville Fire Department.

Fire command declared the fire under control within an hour, but firefighters were on the scene for more than three hours checking for extension and overhauling of the fire scene.

No civilian injuries were reported, but a firefighter was injured at the scene. No information was initially available about the injuries or whether the firefighter was hospitalized.

Although the cause and origin of the fire is under investigation, there was a fire in the fireplace earlier in the evening. Fire and smoke damage cause the house to be temporarily uninhabitable.
