No one was injured when a vacant residential structure caught fire Saturday in unincorporated Lake Zurich.
The Wauconda Fire District responded at 9:20 p.m. to the 25000 block of North Old McHenry Road for a report of a structure fire.
Upon arrival they were met with heavy fire that was coming through the roof of the medium, two-story vacant house, according to a statement from the fire district.

At around 10:30 p.m., the fire was deemed under control, and crews began searching for hidden fire until about 12:00 a.m., the Wauconda Fire District said.
No injuries were reported in the incident.
Investigators are still looking into the cause of the fire, the fire district said.
