The fire companies ensured that all residents in the neighboring unit were safely evacuated before focusing on extinguishing the blaze. Multiple hose lines were stretched and by approximately 12:30 a.m., the fire was deemed under control.

However, as a precautionary measure, fire companies remained on scene for an additional two hours to ensure that all hot spots were extinguished and complete overhaul was conducted.

Assisting Naperville Fire Department on scene were Naperville Police and Electric departments. The Bolingbrook, Warrenville, and Plainfield fire departments also provided coverage during this incident.

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.
