Excerpts from the DailyHerald.com:
Three firefighters were injured Monday afternoon while battling a blaze that destroyed a Woodridge apartment building.
No civilians were hurt in the fire at the four-unit, two-story building on the 3000 block of Roberts Road. Most residents got out on their own, but one woman needed help from firefighters, Lisle-Woodridge Fire Protection District Chief Tom Freeman said. Workers who were on the roof at the time got down safely, too.
The fire was detected by an automated system about 4:50 p.m. When firefighters arrived, the roof of the building was ablaze. About 80 firefighters from about a dozen suburban departments got the fire under control about 7 p.m.
The three injured firefighters all work for the Lisle-Woodridge department. They were taken to area hospitals and are expected to survive, Freeman said.

I didn’t know 3 firefighters were injured. It didn’t look like it when I stopped by to see it.
