Four residents were displaced and two firefighters were injured after a fire likely started in the garage of a Fox River Grove home and caused significant damage Saturday afternoon.

The Fox River Grove Fire Protection District responded around 2:55 p.m. Saturday to the 100 block of Beachway Drive in Fox River Grove for a structure fire.

Firefighters received reports of an attached garage of a two-story house that was engulfed in flames.

Firefighters pulled hose lines to attack the fire, which Jackson said likely started in the garage and worked its way up to the second floor of the home.

A total of four residents were able to escape the home.

Two firefighters were feeling ill and had to be medically evaluated by paramedics at the scene, but they were released and not transported to the hospital, Jackson said.
