No Injuries As Fire Damages Senior Living Facility In Woodridge

WOODRIDGE, IL — No one was hurt when a kitchen fire broke out, damaging Cedarhurst Senior Living in Woodridge Tuesday night.

Fire crews were called to the facility at 3333 75th St. around 9:15 p.m. after a fire alarm was activated. When they got to the scene, firefighters found heavy smoke in the building's kitchen area. A sprinkler system had activated, which helped contain the fire to the kitchen, a news release said.

"Installed sprinkler systems are the most effective tool in our toolbox, as it relates to community risk reduction efforts," Lisle-Woodridge Fire District Chief Keith Krestan said in a statement.

To reduce smoke exposure, some residents were moved to a different part of the facility as crews battled the blaze. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
