One woman died in a house fire on the south end of Des Plaines overnight. The Chicago Tribune has an article HERE which states that:

 A woman died in an early morning house fire in west suburban Des Plaines, authorities said.

Responding to reports of people trapped, Des Plaines firefighters found the 48-year-old woman in the basement of the split-level home in the 1000 block of Irwin Avenue shortly after midnight, according to Des Plaines Fire Chief Alan Wax.

Firefighters tried to revive Sandra Lupy but she was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Cook County medical examiner’s office.
