Lincolnshire house fire causes damage but no injuries

A house fire in Lincolnshire Friday night caused an estimated $60,000 worth of damage but no one was injured, authorities said.

The Lincolnshire Riverwoods Fire Department responded to the 300 block of Camberley Lane around 8 p.m. for a reported fire, according to a news release.

Smoke was visible from the first floor of the two-story, end-unit townhouse. Crews determined all the occupants were out of the building and put out the fire within half an hour. The home had working fire detectors that alerted residents of smoke and a sprinkler system that slowed the fire's progression, authorities said.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
