Excerpts from the ChicagoSunTimes.com:
One person was killed and another injured in a fire Saturday night that broke out just before 8 p.m. in the 5100 block of West Grand Avenue. One person was taken to Community First Medical Center, where they were later pronounced dead. The other was listed in serious condition at West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park.
Crews have not been able to complete a search of the structure due to the building’s instability.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
