NORMAL – A fire severely damaged a house in the Carriage Hills subdivision Sunday morning.
Just before 11:00 a.m., Normal fire departments were dispatched to the 800 block of Landau Lane.
The homeowner wasn’t home when a neighbor called to report significant smoke and flames coming from the back of the house.
Within an hour, firefighters had put out the most of the fire, but stayed on the scene to look for hot spots and help investigators.
According to a news release, the fire damage extended through the first floor ceiling and burned away a significant portion of the second story floor above the kitchen.
No injuries were reported and the cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
