Around noon on Thursday, the Aurora Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire in the 1900 block of Sedgegrass Trail, according to a press release from the department. Multi ple 911 calls were received from neighbors reporting flames visible from the home, the release said. A total of four engine companies, two truck companies, three medic units and two chief officers — 26 personnel in all — responded to the scene, officials said. First-arriving crews encountered heavy fire along the side of a two-story single-family home, with smoke pushing from the roof eaves, according to the release. Firefighters began extinguishing the fire from the exterior before making entry to the second floor, officials said. Additional crews conducted searches, deployed backup hose lines, ventilated the roof and performed overhaul operations on the exterior. The fire was brought under control within approximately 30 minutes, the release stated. All residents safely evacuated before firefighters arrived, and no injuries were reported, according to the release. Due to significant fire damage, the home was declared uninhabitable, officials said.
