2 Displaced During Early Morning Residential Fire in 2100 Block of Warren Street

EVANSTON, IL - On Sunday, February 23, at approximately 2:45 a.m., Evanston firefighters responded to reports of a fire in a single-family residence in the 2100 block of Warren Street. 

The first responding units observed heavy smoke and fire coming from the rear of the structure. Based on the information received, dispatch escalated the response to a Working Fire to ensure additional resources and outside fire departments could assist.

Due to an aggressive fire attack, the fire was contained to the bedroom within 10 minutes, minimizing structural damage to the property.

The two residents self-evacuated before the arrival of fire companies but required evaluation and transport to a local area hospital for additional care. Extensive heat and smoke damage throughout the residence resulted in their displacement. At this time, the fire is still under investigation.

Two firefighters were reported to have sustained minor injuries but remained on scene.

For more information, please call or text 847-448-4311. Residents can also dial 3-1-1 in Evanston for assistance.
