No injuries after fire in Addison home’s basement

No injuries were reported after a fire late Monday in the basement of an Addison home.

Addison Fire Protection District officials said a resident called them to the two-story, single-family house on the 4N100 block of Verrill Avenue after seeing fire in the basement at about 11 p.m.

It took firefighters nearly 20 minutes to extinguish the blaze, which appears accidental, officials said. Firefighters remained on scene for another two hours checking for hot spots and performing salvage operations.

Fire officials noted smoke detectors were operational inside the home.
