No one injured in South Elgin apartment fire

No one was injured Tuesday when a fire damaged an unoccupied apartment building in South Elgin, officials say.

South Elgin and Countryside Fire Protection District firefighters responded to a fire alarm at 350 Gyorr Road about 7:55 p.m. Tuesday, officials said Wednesday.

Firefighters initially did not see a fire, but after a resident alerted them to water coming from under a garage door of an unoccupied building, they forced entry and saw smoke inside, officials said.

Firefighters found the fire between the ceiling and the floor of a two-story unit. The fire was contained and did not damage the neighboring units, officials said.

The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
