Excerpts from Chicago.cbslocal.com:

Prospect Heights firefighters responded to a fire around 6:45 a.m. Friday at the Lake Run Condos, a 5-story multifamily building at 16 E Old Willow Road. The fire started in a second-floor unit, and crews evacuated the entire building as firefighters worked to extinguish the fire.

Although firefighters were able to put the fire out within two minutes, the 65-year-old woman who lived in the unit where the fire started died.

The fire was contained to that unit, and after clearing smoke from the common areas of the building, the other residents were able to go back inside by 8 a.m.
