Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:

Chicago firefighters rescued a 72-year-old man from a house fire in the Englewood neighborhood Tuesday in the 7300-block of South May Street.

A 72-year-old man was pulled out of the attic of the home and was unresponsive until being resuscitated after crews performed CPR. The man was transported in critical condition to Stroger Hospital.

The fire was struck out by 2 p.m. and no working smoke detectors were heard.
