Arlington Heights firefighters quickly extinguished a small house fire Sunday night that was caused by a holiday candle.
No one was injured and the home remained habitable, authorities said.
Firefighters received the call to the house on the 300 block of Waverly Road at about 9:23 p.m. Sunday. The fire was found to be confined to a sunroom and was extinguished within 10 minutes of arrival, authorities said.
The room and its contents together sustained an estimated $5,000 in damage, according to the Arlington Heights Fire Department.

Last week, Northwest Community Healthcare (NCH) began administering the first COVID-19 vaccines to frontline healthcare workers and nearly 700 local paramedics. The Pfizer vaccine being given to frontline healthcare workers as directed by the state, was approved by the FDA Friday, December 11 and distributed to Illinois hospitals by the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency.
NCH President and CEO Stephen Scogna said, It is absolutely our honor to ensure area paramedics are safely vaccinated against COVID-19. EMS workers give their all every day to assist our community, and they need to be protected against this virus and in turn protect the community and patients they serve.
