Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:
One person was critically injured in a fire at an Evanston home on Monday evening. Firefighters responded to a building in the 2600-block of Harrison Street around 6 p.m.
When crews arrived, they saw heavy smoke and flames coming from the building, and people were evacuating.
Firefighters rescued a person from the building’s second floor. That person, who suffered severe burns, was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.
No firefighters were injured.
Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:
There was a large response after a fire broke out in the basement of a home in the 1100 block of Florence Avenue in Evanston at about 9:45 a.m. The fire quickly spread to other floors. The first floor partially collapsed, trapping two firefighters and prompting a mayday call.
Both firefighters were removed and taken in stable condition to a nearby hospital.
A cat died in the fire, and all three residents were displaced. The cause of the fire is being investigated.

From Evanston FD on Twitter:
On Tuesday, at approximately 4:50 p.m., the Evanston Fire Department responded to reports of heavy smoke and fire on the 2nd floor of a two-story multi-residential structure at 2002 Emerson St.
First-responding companies encountered heavy smoke and fire conditions visible from the 2nd floor upon arrival, calling for additional resources to contain the threat by elevating the response to a 2nd Alarm. Neighboring fire departments were called to assist with fire investigation and to respond to emergency calls in Evanston.
Due to a well-coordinated interior attack, the fire was extinguished in less than 30 minutes and contained to the unit of origin. Extensive smoke and water damage resulted in the displacement of all residents within the building. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Although most residents could safely evacuate, firefighters successfully escorted one resident from the first floor of the burning building. Two civilians received medical care, with one transport for evaluation to a local area hospital. No firefighter injuries were reported. American Red Cross responded to the scene and provided emergency services and housing assistance for six displaced residents.

Excerpts from Evanstonnow.com:
Evanston Firefighters found smoke coming from the roof and windows of a residence at 1017 Mulford St. when they arrived on the scene about 4:25 p.m. Wednesday 11/20/19.
As the first crews arrived on scene, they determined that the fire was in the first floor kitchen and was already extending into the second floor through a void space. None of the residents were at home, but a dog perished due to smoke inhalation.
Evanston fire companies were assisted by neighboring communities in both handling the fire as well as providing fire and EMS coverage for the remainder of the city during the incident.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
