New Lenox Puts Out House Fire

NEW LENOX, IL - On Saturday night around 9 p.m., New Lenox's Fire Protection District responded to a structure fire on LaJunta Court. There were flames shooting through the roof. At the scene of the blaze, New Lenox firefighters made sure everyone and the family dog were safely out of the home, according to a press release issued Sunday by the fire department.

“The fire was quickly extinguished, minimizing the damage to the garage, with no extension into the home," New Lenox Fire Battalion Chief Chris Ward said.

Assisting the NLFPD with the fire were Mokena, Frankfort, Manhattan and Orland Fire Protection Districts. Other area fire districts were brought in to cover any additional calls for service the NLFPD received during the fire.

No one was injured during the fire. The cause is currently under investigation.
