Firefighters Rescue Four on Ridge
Chicago firefighters rescued four people after a fire swept through an apartment building early this morning in the Rogers Park neighborhood. The blaze broke out shortly before 5:45 a.m. in a three-story building in the 7500 block of North Ridge Boulevard. When firefighters arrived they saw two children and two adults in the windows needing help, a Chicago fire department spokesman said. Source.

It's nice to hear that they were saved.
Craig, I think that I was there at 6:45 a.m. I will have to take a closer look, but I saw nothing but ABC7 News at Ridge and Birchwood. The fire must have ended quite quickly. The Channel 7 camera guy at St. Scholastica was tearing down.
Another Cameraman was waiting for the reporter to arrive, who eventually did the report. The reporter did her onsite after I left. He refused to point out the building. Maybe he wanted me to see the report, so he refused to tell me that it was 7516 N. Ridge. It smelled a little, but you could not see much from the sidewalk without nosing around the building, perhaps.
I posted the report and my comments at www.fortysomething-politics.blogspot.com. I guess that I had to be there at 5:45a.m At the time, a 'board up' crew was waiting across the street.
