Overnight fire sends residents into the cold on Chicago's South Side
CHICAGO (CBS) — An apartment building fire sent residents into the cold in Bronzeville overnight.
Video captured smoke billowing from the windows of a building in the 3800 block of South Giles Avenue just after 1:40 a.m. Firefighters used ladders and broke windows to put out flames on higher floors of the building.
A warming bus was available to residents forced to evacuate and those displaced by the fire. First responders worked to help the displaced residents reach safety in the below-freezing temperatures.
While the cause of the fire is under investigation, Chicago police said it may have been accidental.
No injuries were reported.
This is a developing story. CBS News Chicago will continue to provide updates.
