Authorities Investigate Blaze At Vacant Home In Grayslake

GRAYSLAKE, IL — No one was injured in a blaze that broke out over the weekend at a vacant home in Grayslake.

The Grayslake Fire District was called to the fire at the single-family home in the 400 block of South Lake Street at about 10 a.m., according to a news release from the fire district. Crews first at the scene were able to put out the fire located outside the home but then found the blaze had spread to the attic area.

The home had multiple roof additions, "which made locating and extinguishing the fire more difficult," fire officials said. The fire was put at about 11 p.m.

The fire caused an estimated $125,000 in damage, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
