NAPERVILLE, Ill. - Several people were displaced and a firefighter was injured after a fire broke out Saturday at a west suburban Naperville home.

Authorities were called at 1:25 a.m. for reports of the fire at the two-story home in the 1700 block of Baybrook Lane, according to a statement from the Naperville Fire Department.

Crews found the fire in the walls of the attic with smoke coming from the chimney and roof line, the fire department said. The blaze was brought under control in about an hour.
