Fire heavily damages Glen Ellyn home

Glen Ellyn fire officials are investigating a blaze that heavily damaged a single-family home on Stacy Court.

Officials said there were no injuries to the resident or any of the approximately 40 firefighters who responded to the fire, which was reported about 9:49 p.m. to the Glen Ellyn Volunteer Fire Department.

The first engine reported heavy smoke and fire coming from the home and quickly upgraded, bringing additional crews and equipment from other locations to assist in fighting the fire. The fire was contained to the one home, as crews remained on the scene until around 1 a.m. Sunday.

Crews from 11 surrounding towns assisted, either at the fire or in manning the department’s two fire stations while firefighters were at the scene.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time, officials said.
