Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:
A 56-year-old woman was critically injured in a fire early Wednesday morning on Chicago’s South Side. She was trapped inside a smoky home in the 5600-block of South Racine Avenue. Firefighters spent about 40 minutes battling the fire in the single-family home, which caught fire just after 1 a.m.
Tyrone Powell escaped the fire. He said the woman who was critically hurt is his landlord. He said his grandkids were sleeping when the fire broke out and he was alerted to the danger when his daughter came knocking on the door. They were able to get all of the children out safely.
