A man out on bond for crashing into a house, critically injuring a resident in Crystal Lake, has now been charged with committing an arson fire at his home in Lakewood over the weekend.
The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department responded around 5:54 a.m. Saturday to the 9300 block of Firth Court in Lakewood for a report of a structure fire.
Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Chief Paul DeRaedt said that someone who was not at the home reported to police there was a fire inside the residence.
Firefighters arrived in six minutes and reported the fire appeared to be out.
A search of the one-story, single-family home revealed no one was inside, DeRaedt said.
Fire crews extinguished some smoldering contents but the fire did not require much water to extinguish.
The home sustained significant heat and smoke damage throughout, DeRaedt said, adding that the fire appeared to have mostly burned itself out.
