Garage fire spreads to home in Hanover Park

A Hanover Park family was displaced by a house fire Monday afternoon.

Firefighters were called at 2 p.m. to the two-story home on the 1800 block of Zeppelin Drive for a fire in the attached garage, Hanover Park Fire Department Batallion Chief Garrett Kody said.

The flames extended into the home, but the bulk of the damage was caused by the extensive smoke, he said.

One firefighter was treated at the scene for minor injuries. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. No damage estimates were available Monday night.

Hanover Park firefighters were assisted by crews from Bloomingdale, Bartlett, Carol Stream, South Elgin, Streamwood, and Roselle.
