Fire destroys house in Antioch, Illinois
A fire destroyed a house in Antioch, Illinois, near the Wisconsin state line this weekend.
At 2:29 p.m. Saturday, the Antioch Fire Department was called for a house fire in the 41000 block of Lincoln Avenue, near Route 173.
Due to the extent of the fire and the need for water, the fire department called a mutual aid box alarm to send in help from other Illinois and Wisconsin fire departments.
A man was seen outside the house embracing a dog. It was not clear whether the dog had to be rescued from the fire.
Crews worked to put out the fire over the course of two hours, but the house was a total loss.
No one was injured in the fire. The cause remained under investigation Sunday morning.
