From Evanston Fire @EvanstonFD

12 residents & several animals were displaced during a multi-residential fire on the 1600 blk of Monroe St. One FF suffered a minor injury. Outside agencies called to assist with overhaul & investigation. Avoid the area to allow crews to gain access. Great work by all involved!
