Blaze Consumes Townhome In Naperville: Fire Department

NAPERVILLE, IL — A six-unit townhome building was evacuated Wednesday after a resident came home and discovered smoke inside her townhouse. Officials say they arrived at the two-story complex in the 30W600 block of Fairway Dr. to find a working fire inside of the residence.

Fire crews evacuated the remaining five units in the building and searched the home to see if any other family members were present.

More than two dozen firefighters from Naperville, Winfield, Lisle, Westmont, Downers Grove, and Plainfield assisted with putting out the fire. Fire officials said it took less than 30 minutes to extinguish the flames.

The home that caught on fire was deemed uninhabitable and its residents were temporarily displaced. Officials say the other residents were able to return to their homes safely.
