Excerpts from the DailyHerald.com:
A fire Thursday morning caused extensive damage to a vacant townhouse on the 2S700 block of Avenue La Tours West near Oak Brook.
York Center Fire Protection District firefighters were called to the scene in unincorporated DuPage County at 5:25 a.m. and found the townhouse completely engulfed in flames. The townhouse was being renovated at the time and no one was inside.
Firefighters from York Center, Oak Brook, Lombard, and Villa Park responded. The cause of the blaze is under investigation by the DuPage County Fire Investigation Task Force.
