One injured in fire that destroys home in Aurora according to AuroraILFire.
Aurora Fire Department officials said in a news release that crews responded to multiple 911 calls at 9:23 a.m. to the 500 block of North Park Avenue. The alarm was upgraded as approaching firefighters saw the column of smoke in the distance.
When they arrived, firefighters found a single-story home with heavy flames showing from the attached garage and two vehicles parked in front of the garage. Two of the three occupants of the home had got out before firefighters arrived, and they helped another occupant, a 67-year-old woman, to safety in the backyard. A 61-year-old man was treated for minor smoke inhalation and taken to a hospital.
Twenty-eight firefighters responded to the scene, which took over an hour to extinguish. The garage roof collapsed eight minutes after firefighters started working the blaze.
