According to the Plainfield Township Fire Department, fire crews were dispatched around 9:21 a.m. Sunday to a home in the 1900 block of Rogue River Drive.

Firefighters first entered the home to try and extinguish the fire, but due to the intensity of the fire, the incident commander transitioned operations to a defensive strategy.
