A fire Tuesday afternoon outside McHenry severely damaged a home, but the four residents were able to get out before firefighters arrived, according to the McHenry Township Fire Protection District.

Two of those residents were taken to a local hospital for treatment, but with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, according to a department news release.

Firefighters were called at about 3:45 p.m. to the 1200 block of Chapel Hill Road, in the unincorporated Eastwood Manor subdivision. Crews arriving two minutes after the first call found the single-story home with fire showing from a front window, according to a department news release.
