The Chicago Tribune reports that:

Between 20 and 25 people were displaced when two 3-story apartment buildings burned down in Maywood Friday night.

The 3-11 alarm fire on the 1000 block of 11th Avenue brought firefighters from a dozen surrounding communities as crews battled flames for about two hours, Maywood Fire Chief John Cadigan said.

The first alarm was sounded about 9:30 p.m. Investigators remained on the scene after midnight Saturday morning, Cadigan said. It was too early to say what caused the fire.
