Fire damages Streamwood garage, but no injuries reported

A garage fire in Streamwood drew a large response Sunday afternoon but resulted in no injuries to residents or responders.

Streamwood firefighters called to a two-story home in the 600 block of South Park Boulevard at about 3 p.m. arrived to find an attached one-car garage on fire. The home's occupants evacuated and were outside when firefighters arrived at the scene, officials said.

Firefighters had the blaze under control by 4:05 p.m. and contained it to the garage, but the home was left uninhabitable because of smoke and water damage, according to the fire department. A vehicle in the garage was heavily damaged, officials said, estimating the total damage from the blaze at $60,000.

In addition to Streamwood, firefighters from Bartlett, East Dundee, Hanover Park and Hoffman Estates responded to the call. Personnel from the Carpentersville and South Elgin fire departments also assisted.
