The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. Two firefighters sustained minor injuries while battling the blaze but were evaluated and released at the scene.

Unfortunately, due to extensive damage caused by the fire, Naperville Transportation, Engineering, and Development Team have deemed the main occupancy uninhabitable. The estimated cost of damages is approximately $200,000.

As investigations continue into this incident, authorities urge residents to take necessary precautions to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
