Buffalo Grove fire contained to bedroom
A fire in a single-family home Friday morning in Buffalo Grove was contained to a second-floor bedroom, authorities said.
Four residents were able to leave the house on their own after the fire broke out about 6:20 a.m. on the 600 block of Hickory Drive.
About 45 minutes later, they complained of difficulty breathing, and were taken to Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights for smoke inhalation, according to a Buffalo Grove Fire Department news release.
A firefighter sustained a minor injury and was released after being treated at the hospital, authorities said.
Buffalo Grove and Arlington Heights firefighters were first on scene to extinguish the fire.
A dollar estimate of damages had not yet been determined Friday, and the cause of the fire remained under investigation, officials said.
