A 14-year old boy who was unaccounted for after a fire broke out in his family’s Darien home has been found.

The boy was riding his bicycle through the neighborhood, fire officials said.

Earlier, Tri-State Fire Protection District Fire Chief Shelly Gibson said she thought the boy had escaped but was not sure he had been overlooked amid the extensive fire damage in the home.

Eight members of the family had safely escaped the blaze that was reported about 2:30 a.m. in the 2½-story brick home at 138 Iris Road in the western suburb. But the boy was nowhere to be found.

The fire involved the basement and rear of the house.

It took firefighters about an hour to extinguish the blaze.
