Grayslake firefighters battled two separate house fires, one in Grayslake and one in Round Lake Park, in a 24-hour span that left one person with minor injuries at each fire.

The Grayslake Fire District responded around 11:45 a.m. Thursday to the 500 block of Dawn Circle in Grayslake for a report of a structure fire.

Firefighters arrived on the scene within three minutes to find the homeowner extinguishing the fire with a garden hose.

The fire had started on the outside of the home. Fire personnel assisted the homeowner and checked the inside of the home and attic for fire extension.

Three people were inside the home when the fire was discovered and all exited the home safely, fire officials said.

One occupant of the home received minor injuries while extinguishing the fire and received treatment on the scene by paramedics.
