One person was hurt in a Monday evening fire at a Mount Prospect house that left the home uninhabitable.
Firefighters were called to the one-story, single-family house on the 0-100 block of Hatlen Avenue just south of Central Road around 6:30 p.m.
The first companies arrived within five minutes and reported seeing heavy smoke and fire rising from the rear of the building.
Residents had exited before firefighters arrived; one was ultimately taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening.
It took nearly 30 minutes to bring the fire under control.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Damage is estimated at $150,000.
