Naperville residence left uninhabitable after fire

A Naperville home was left uninhabitable after a fire Saturday afternoon, city fire officials said.

No injuries were reported as a result of the blaze in the 300 block of South Loomis Street, which caused an estimated $300,000 in damages, according to the city.

Naperville’s Emergency Communication Center received a call at 4:27 p.m. Saturday reporting smoke at the home. Firefighters arrived about five minutes later and found fire in the basement and interior walls on multiple floors.

After making sure all residents had evacuated, firefighters battled the flames and brought the blaze under control by 5:17 p.m., officials said. They remained on the scene for another hour and a half to ensure all hot spots were put out and to vent residual smoke.

Several fire departments provided assistance, as did Naperville’s police, electric and water departments, and ComEd.

The cause for the fire remains under investigation.
