A man was severely burned in a structure fire in the 200 block of South Fraser Avenue in Kankakee Sunday night.

It was one of three fires within three hours that Kankakee firefighters battled, according to Kankakee Fire Chief Bryan LaRoche.

Multiple departments from Kankakee and Will counties assisted in both.

About 10:30 p.m., firefighters responded to a call of a single-family residence in the 200 block of South Fraser.

When firefighters arrived, there was heavy fire coming from the residence, LaRoche said.

The victim was taken to the hospital. It appeared the victim was going to be transferred for treatment of the burns.

The victim was believed to be alone at the residence at the time of the fire, LaRoche said.

It took about an hour to get the fire under control, LaRoche said.

It appears the fire was accidental but remains under investigation, LaRoche said.

The loss was estimated at $100,000, LaRoche said.

About 7:30 p.m., firefighters responded to a structure fire in the 300 block of West Merchant Street.

LaRoche said the fire had made its way from the first floor to the second floor and the attic space.

It took about an hour to put the fire out. There were no injuries, LaRoche said.

The four-unit structure was heavily damaged. Three of the units were occupied at the time of the fire. Three adults were displaced, LaRoche said.

The fire remains under investigation, and there is no estimate yet on the extent of the damage, LaRoche said.

There was a third fire reported at 9 p.m. in the 110 block of South Seventh Avenue.

A few fire units from the first fire responded. It was extinguished quickly. There was minor damage to the home, LaRoche said.
