A fire broke out this morning at 9401 S. Muskegan on Chicago’s South Side, starting in the basement and quickly spreading upward. The flames made their way through two floors before causing an upper stairway to collapse, resulting in injuries to four Chicago firefighters. The incident occurred around 8:43 a.m., and emergency crews were quickly on the scene.
The fire was reported in a three-story apartment building, and over 200 firefighters responded to the call. According to Deputy District Chief Lynda Turner, the injured firefighters were on a stairwell connecting the second and third floors when the collapse happened. Fire Department Commander Sean Flynn confirmed that none of the firefighters suffered broken bones, though two experienced minor smoke inhalation and others had other minor injuries. All four were taken to Trinity Hospital and are in good condition.
A "Mayday" alarm was sounded around 9 a.m., signaling the critical situation. Local media, including CFDMedia, captured the scene, with photos showing the extent of the damage and the firefighters' efforts. The fire department is currently investigating the cause of the blaze, which has raised concerns about firefighter safety during structural fires.
Residents in the area were advised to stay indoors as crews worked to contain the flames. No civilians were reported injured in the incident. This event highlights the risks faced by first responders in urban firefighting operations.
