Woodridge House Fire Injures One and Leaves Building Uninhabitable

A house fire early Tuesday morning in Woodridge left one person with moderate burn injuries, and five others were transported as a precaution, according to a Lisle Woodridge Fire District news release.

The fire district got the 9-1-1 call at 1:14 a.m. Oct. 28. to the home on the 7800 block of Deerfield Avenue. All six people in the home at the time of the fire were able to exit the building. There were no firefighter injuries.

Most of the fire was contained about an hour after fire district crews arrived, according to the release. The first crews on the scene noted much of the fire was in the back of the house and in the attic space.

Twenty seven Lisle-Woodridge Fire District personnel were dispatched to the emergency, arriving in four engines, two ladder trucks, two medic units and a command team, according to the release. Surrounding fire departments and fire districts also responded to the fire.

The Woodridge Building Department deemed the building uninhabitable after the fire.

The Lisle-Woodridge Fire District fire investigation team is investigating the cause of the fire.
