Chicago firefighters were sent to a two-story bungalow at 906 N. Trumbull this morning for a fire in the basement. The fire spread throughout the house before companies were able to fully extinguish it. Tim Olk was at the scene and submitted several images.

The following is from The Chicago Tribune:
