No residents or firefighters were injured in a Plainfield house fire Friday morning, but the garage has about $50,000 in damage, officials said.
About 10:15 a.m., the Western Will County Communication Center received a 911 call that a garage in the 16400 block of South Winding Creek Lane in Plainfield was on fire, according to a news release from the Plainfield Fire Protection District.
The first Plainfield unit arrived within five minutes of the 911 call, according to the release. Firefighters saw smoke coming from the home’s attached garage and learned that all residents were evacuated from the single-family home.
The fire was contained to the garage, and Plainfield firefighters quickly extinguished the fire with a hose. Firefighters then searched and ventilated the house to ensure the fire didn’t spread to other parts of the house.
NICOR and ComEd were called to the scene to secure the utilities.
The Plainfield building department inspected the structure and decided it was habitable. The cause of the fire was deemed accidental but still is under investigation.
The Lockport Fire Protection District, Joliet Fire Department and Troy Fire Protection District assisted at the scene.
The Bolingbrook Fire Department, Bristol Kendall Fire Protection District and Naperville Fire Department provided station coverage.
