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.
