A Tuesday morning house fire in Elgin resulted in the death of a dog and about $150,000 in fire and smoke damage, officials said.
Elgin firefighters arrived at the home in the 1500 block of St. Andrew Circle about 9:45 a.m. to find flames coming from a first-floor window and smoke throughout the residence, a fire report said.
The residents were not home at the time, and no firefighters were injured in the blaze, which took about 10 minutes to extinguish, the report said.
The fire department’s investigation team is looking into the fire’s cause.
