A dog is missing and two families have been displaced after their homes were damaged by a fire that broke out in Crystal Lake early Wednesday morning, officials said.

The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department responded around 1:30 a.m. to the 700 block of Eletson Drive in Crystal Lake for a report of a structure fire.

Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department Battalion Chief Rick Kaiser said fire crews arrived within six minutes to find a working structure fire.

Flames and smoke were visible from an attached garage of a residence.

The residence was attached to three other homes. Kaiser said all residents and animals evacuated their homes prior to the fire department’s arrival.

Firefighters made an aggressive attack on the fire, which had spread to the attic, Kaiser said.

An adjacent residence also sustained damage. The two residences were deemed uninhabitable.
