A Gurnee home was deemed uninhabitable after fire caused $150,000 in damages, authorities said.
Gurnee Fire Department Battalion Chief Tim Steffens said firefighters were called to the 7700 block of Sawyer Court at 8:26 a.m. on Friday.
Upon arrival, firefighters found smoke showing from the roof of the two-story, single-family home, Steffens said.

He said no injuries were reported to civilians or firefighters.
Steffens said crews put out the blaze within minutes and left the scene by 9:50 a.m. Friday.
The home was deemed uninhabitable and resulted in about $150,000 in damages, Steffens said.
The fire remained under investigation as of Saturday.
