Hoffman Estates fire officials said a fire Friday afternoon caused about $400,000 in damage to a home on the 1500 block of Caldwell Lane. One firefighter suffered a minor injury.

Firefighters were called at 3:21 p.m. and arrived to find heavy flames and smoke coming from the attached garage.

The fire extended into the living area above the garage and into the roof of the home. A neighboring home sustained damage to the siding.
