North Aurora house fire displaces family of 4
A house fire Tuesday caused significant damage to a two-story home and displaced a North Aurora family, authorities say.
The top level of a home on the 800 block of Magnolia Drive caught fire about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday with no one inside, officials said. The family dog was in the house during the blaze but managed to escape when firefighters opened the front door. There were no injuries reported.
North Aurora Fire Lt. Matt Arch declined to comment further while the fire is under investigation.
It was unclear as of Tuesday night why and where the fire started, although fire officials have said it ignited in the second story.
Fire crews controlled the fire late into the evening, while the family spoke with Red Cross representatives.
