Heat lamp triggers Naperville fire
A heat lamp in a snake cage apparently triggered an apartment fire that caused less than $5,000 damage Friday at 806 N. Washington St., Naperville.
Firefighters, who responded at 2:47 p.m., said the lamp burned through the platform supporting the cage, an adjacent piece of carpeting and a small top layer of flooring.
It took firefighters only minutes to put out the blaze.
Naperville Animal Control officers were called to assist with a variety of reptiles that had been kept in the cage.
