MAPLE PARK – No one was injured after a chimney fire caused damage to a Maple Park home Tuesday evening.

The Elburn and Countryside Fire Protection District was dispatched at 7:32 p.m. to a fire at 46W571 Route 38. According to a news release, a fire had spread to the outside of the chimney and into the structure of the home by the time firefighters arrived.

The occupants had exited the home, and firefighters helped rescue the homeowners' pets, according to the release.

Lt. Greg Algrim with the Elburn and Countryside Fire Protection District said two adults were home at the time of the fire. He said firefighters rescued a lizard-like pet called a skink.

The fire was extinguished within a half hour. Algrim said the fire was contained mostly to the fireplace area and near a stairwell. Elburn was assisted by the Batavia, Big Rock, Burlington, Geneva, Maple Park, St. Charles and Sugar Grove fire departments.

The fire is still under investigation, and the estimated property loss is still being determined, according to the release.
