No injuries reported after garage fire in Warrenville

The Warrenville Fire Protection District is investigating the cause of a garage fire Sunday morning at a multifamily residential building.

A resident of the building in the 3S200 block of Briarwood Drive called 911 at approximately 7:17 a.m. to report the garage was on fire, officials said.

The first firefighters arrived on scene in less than six minutes to find the fire extinguished, but used a hose line to ensure it was out and had not extended into other areas of the building.
