A garage heating unit started a fire Sunday afternoon that caused about $50,000 damage to a detached garage in unincorporated Naperville.
A resident at 5S412 Vest St., called 911 around noon to report smoke coming from the home's garage, Naperville fire officials said.
When crews arrived a few minutes later, they saw smoke and flames coming from the eaves of the garage behind the home.
The firefighters extinguished the flames in about 15 minutes. No injuries were reported.
The loss, estimated at $50,000, includes damage to the garage's structure and contents.
