2 Kids, Mom, Dog Saved From Hotel Fire Naperville

NAPERVILLE, IL — Two children, their mother and a pet dog were safely evacuated from a Naperville hotel after a fire broke out Friday afternoon.

Fire crews were called to the four-story hotel in the 1800 block of Diehl Road just after 12:30 p.m. for a report of smoke that was coming from an air conditioner on the hotel's second floor. First responders got to the scene to find flames and "heavy smoke," a news release said.

Firefighters used a ladder to help the two children get out through a window. The children's mother and a dog were able to get out of their hotel room on foot.

The woman was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for minor injuries. Paramedics evaluated the children at the scene and released them to their father's care.

A firefighter sustained a minor injury and was evaluated onsite. The cause of the fire was still under investigation as of Friday afternoon.
