Excerpts from the Herald-News.com:
New Lenox firefighters responded just before 5:10 p.m. Wednesday for a reported structure fire near the intersection of Hickory Street and Vine Street. Heavy fire could be seen coming from the back of a four-unit apartment building. Firefighters had the blaze under control in about 10 minutes. The fire was contained to one unit.
One individual was hospitalized after the incident, and the fire’s cause was under investigation Wednesday night.
