No injuries in Naperville apartment building fire

No one was injured in a fire at a Naperville apartment building Friday that left more than $250,000 in damage and three of the apartments uninhabitable, authorities said.

Firefighters responded just after 2 p.m. to the 1400 block of Fairway Drive and found smoke coming from the roof of the building, officials said, and as crews entered the building, they reported smoke on the buildings’ upper level and found fire in the attic. They also found fire in the walls on the second and third floor of the building.

The response was upgraded to a box alarm, bringing a total of three trucks, five engines, a heavy rescue squad and three ambulances to the scene, along with six command officers.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, and arrangements are being made to accommodate the displaced residents, officials said.
