Fire Leaves Apartment Uninhabitable In Naperville

NAPERVILLE, IL --- Residents of a Naperville apartment unit have been displaced from their home after a fire broke out Monday evening. The blaze started in the basement of an apartment unit located in the 1100 block of Tennyson Lane, according to a news release.

The apartment was deemed uninhabitable, but residents who live in the building's other units were permitted to return to their homes.

Authorities are still investigating the cause of the fire.
