According to the Chicago Fire Department, the fire possibly started on the back porch of a vacant building. The back of the buildings have collapsed along with the two coach houses.
One woman displaced by the fire said she had to make a quick run for it.
\u201cIt was terrifying \u2013 we had to hurry up and get our things \u2013 our most important valuable things to us,\u201d said Delores Gamez, \u201cWe had to run out \u2013 got our animals out. Luckily everyone\u2019s okay.\u201d
A CFD official said the recent dry weather conditions made fighting the flames especially difficult.
\u201cWe\u2019ve had no rain \u2013 everything\u2019s dry, and once the exposure gets going, then when we get water under it, it\u2019s kind of hard to control,\u201d said Dept. Dist. Chief Tom Carbonneau. \u201cOnce we get water on the exposure, we work our way from the outside in \u2013 we get it going.\u201d
American Red Cross teams were providing assistance to the people who have been displaced.
