No injuries reported in Palatine kitchen fire

No injuries were reported after fire broke out in the kitchen of a Palatine home Monday morning.

Palatine firefighters responded to the blaze on the 600 block of South Cedar Street at 11:04 a.m. following reports of a stove fire.

All residents were safely located outside the house, and the fire was brought under control by 12:04 p.m.

Fire investigators later determined the cause was accidental, citing “improper storage of combustible materials near the stove.”

Damage estimates were not immediately available. Fire officials said the home was left uninhabitable.
