Residents told NBC Chicago they smelled smoke – and the situation quickly escalated.
“Smoke, there’s a lot of smoke and then they just started knock on the door…I’m glad everybody was able to get out, but just like, I have to start over again. I just hope I can save as much as I can in my apartment,” said resident Lawanda Binion.
Residents said everyone managed to get out safely. Non injures were reported.
The cause of the fire hadn’t been released as of Saturday evening.
