A firefighter and three other people were injured in a building fire Monday night in South Shore.
Just after 7 p.m., firefighters reponded to a call of a blaze at an apartment building in the 6900 block of South Clyde Avenue, according to Chicago Fire Department Deputy Chief Frank Velez.
The back of the building, including the stairwell, was engulfed in flames, Velez said. Firefighters entered the building and helped guide residents that were trapped inside out to safety.
Three adults were transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center with smoke inhilation injuries, Velez said.
A firefighter, who injured their leg on the stairs, was also taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in good condition, he said.
The cause of the fire wasn’t immediately known.
