A 2-11 alarm fire broke out this morning at 6730 South Shore Drive, prompting a major emergency response and requiring an EMS Plan II. According to the Chicago Tribune, the incident led to tragic losses, with two men and one woman caught in the blaze.
Fire Department spokesperson Larry Langford confirmed that all three victims suffered full cardiac arrest due to smoke inhalation. The two men, aged in their 30s and 40s, were found on the seventh floor of the high-rise building. One was pronounced dead at 9:54 a.m. at the University of Chicago Medical Center, while the other was later declared dead at Jackson Park Hospital. A woman was discovered in the lobby, also in cardiac arrest, but she was successfully revived by paramedics using CPR and taken to the hospital for further treatment.
The fire started around 8:40 a.m. and quickly escalated to a 3-11 alarm, with over ten ambulances dispatched. Firefighters used ladders to battle the flames on the seventh floor, while others worked to reach residents on balconies on the opposite side of the building. Langford suggested the fire may have originated in a bedroom on the seventh floor before spreading to an apartment on the eighth floor. By 9:25 a.m., the fire was under control.
Despite the severity of the situation, the fire department did not order an evacuation, advising residents to stay in their apartments for safety. Firefighters then went door to door to check on occupants. However, the scene outside was chaotic, with water from hoses and hydrants freezing into sheets of ice. Dozens of fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars lined South Shore Drive as crews worked to contain the damage.
One firefighter sustained minor injuries during the operation. As the community grapples with the tragedy, more details are expected to emerge in the coming days.
