CHICAGO (STMW) -- No one was injured during an extra-alarm fire at a vacant building on the South Side Sunday morning.
At 5 a.m., a still and box alarm fire was called for a three-story vacant building at 6619 S. Union Ave., Fire Media Affairs spokesman Quention Curtis said. A fire was immediately escalated to a 2-11 alarm.
No one was injured, Curtis said.
