The Naperville Fire Department has declared a local home “uninhabitable” after it was hit by a car and caught fire Tuesday, officials shared in a press release.
Crews responded to the scene on the 3000 block of Crystal Rock Road around 12:45 p.m. Reports came in noting the vehicle was smoking and the home appeared to be on fire, prompting an alarm upgrade and additional assistance.
