After approximately 20 minutes, at 1:35 a.m., the fire was declared under control and extinguished. Fire personnel remained on site to ensure there were no remaining hot spots.
Thankfully, there were no injuries reported among residents, pets or firefighters. However, due to extensive damage estimated at over $50,000, Naperville's Transportation, Engineering and Development (TED) Department has deemed the building uninhabitable. The blaze displaced two adults and two children from their home.
Upon investigation, it was determined that improper disposal of charcoal coals caused the fire. The Naperville Fire Department received assistance from both Naperville Police Department and TED Department at the scene.
This incident serves as a reminder for proper disposal of flammable materials and highlights the importance of quick response from emergency services in preventing further damage or injuries during such incidents.
