The City of St. Charles continues cleanup after a powerful storm struck Kane County on July 14.

The Southwest quadrant of St. Charles – the area south of Main Street and west of the Fox River – was hit hardest, and experienced the worst of the city’s storm damage.
“With another powerful storm forecasted for this evening, the City is taking proactive measures to ensure public safety,” City Administrator Heather McGuire said.

The first unit arrived on scene and found heavy smoke from the second floor windows and eaves of the home. The alarm was then upgraded to a working structure fire. The homeowners were home at the time of the fire and were able to exit the home without injury prior to the Fire Department's arrival. Fire companies extinguished the fire within 30 minutes of arrival.
