Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:
One person was injured in a Saturday morning fire that damaged a four-unit townhouse in Orland Park, a spokesman for the Orland Park Fire Protection District said.
The fire was reported about 8:30 a.m. on Cameron Parkway, with firefighters observing smoke and fire in a second-floor bedroom window. One person had to be rescued after returning to the burning building and was transported to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox for undisclosed injuries, while a second person was evaluated at the scene but not transported.
A report that a second person was unaccounted for proved to be untrue after firefighters did a search of the four units.
The fire was extinguished in about 20 minutes, with assistance from the Mokena and Homer Township fire protection districts. Fire damage was limited to one unit, which was deemed uninhabitable.
