CRYSTAL LAKE – A smokey basement fire late Tuesday displaced five residents of a Crystal Lake home, fire officials said.

Firefighters were called to a three-unit residence in the first block of South Williams Street about 11:30 p.m. All occupants had evacuated when the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department arrived, according to a news release.

The fire was contained to a laundry room in the basement, and damage was estimated at $10,000. No one was injured, but the home was declared uninhabitable until repairs are made. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
