Excerpts from ABC7Chicago.com:

A young boy and a man were rescued from a two-alarm fire that ripped through their home in west suburban Oak Park (5/7/15). Village President Anan Abu-Taleb said they are hospitalized in critical condition … and the boy’s sister, who is 12 or 13 years old, was also home when the fire started … is recovering at the hospital.

Neighbors reported hearing a large boom before flames broke out overnight. The back of the apartment building was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived on the scene around 11:30 p.m. Thursday.

The fire spread from the apartment building to the structure next door. The roofs of both homes collapsed. Fire officials said both are likely to be a total loss.
