State Marshal Investigates Chicago Heights Fire

 Chicago Heights firefighters were called to a house fire in the 300 block of Iris Lane at around 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, according to fire officials.

“All fire stations from Chicago Heights responded," Fire Chief Tom Martello said, adding that the blaze was put out about 10 minutes after the first fire vehicle arrived on the scene.

Firefighters remained at the one-story residence long after the fire was put out, but officials have yet to determine what caused it.

“The origin and cause of this fire is being investigated by the office of the State Fire Marshal," Martello added.

The house, located near Serena Hills Elementary, has been boarded up and secured.

‘There were no injuries to firefighters and no injuries to civilians," Martello said. "This building was unoccupied at the time of the fire.”
