Excerpts from abcnews.com:
A firefighter died in a fire in Lincoln Park Monday morning, the Chicago Fire Department said.
The fire was in the 2400-block of North Lincoln Avenue in a building with the Lincoln Station restaurant on the ground floor and apartments on the upper floors. It is also near the Lincoln Hall music venue.
Firefighters carried a firefighter out of the building on a gurney while doing chest compressions before being taken to an ambulance. The firefighter who had been trapped in the building was rescued and transported to Illinois Masonic Medical Center in very critical condition.
CFD Commissioner Annette Nance Holt said the 39-year-old firefighter later died at the hospital.
Further details were not immediately available.
