Firefighters rescued one person while another — a child — was taken to a hospital in good condition following an Auburn Gresham apartment fire Wednesday morning on the South Side.
Around 7:25 a.m., firefighters responded to the 7900 block of South Racine Avenue for the fire, which started on the third floor of the apartment building, Chicago Fire Department officials said.
At least six ambulances were sent to the building and one child, whose age and gender wasn’t immediately known, was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital where they were in good condition.
Additionally, one person who was trapped was rescued from a window of the building, fire officials said. Firefighters searched the building but no other victims were found.
Chicago police also responded to the fire, but haven’t yet released any official details.
The cause of the fire wasn’t immediately known.
