A resident also called 911 and reported a kitchen fire in their apartment.

The first unit arrived on scene at 8:14PM and reported smoke showing from the third floor residence. Fire attack was initiated by the first-arriving engine, medic, and truck companies and a water source was secured.

The fire was found to be burning in the kitchen, which was quickly extinguished. Crews checked for extension in the ceiling and attic of the apartment unit. Additional fire companies on the scene complete an interior search of the multi family residence. One civilian injury was reported. The patient was treated on scene. An inspector from Naperville’s Transportation, Engineering and Development (TED) was also notified.

The Bolingbrook Fire Department, Winfield Fire Protection District, Downers Grove Fire Department, and the Wheaton Fire Department provided coverage for Naperville fire stations during this incident.
