No one was injured after a fire Saturday night in a building on the grounds of the former Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles.

According to a news release from the St. Charles Fire Department, firefighters responded to a report of a fire at the property, 4051 E. Main St., about 7:30 p.m. Aug. 19, where they found an active fire on the second floor.

The building was searched and no occupants were found. The fire was extinguished within about 15 minutes of arrival, according to the release.

Fire officials do not know the extent of the damage to the building or its contents, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation, according to the release.

The St. Charles Fire Department was assisted by fire departments from Geneva, Batavia, Elburn, West Chicago, South Elgin and North Aurora.
