Two firefighters silhouetted against intense flames, working together to control a large blaze.

The blaze started at around 10:45 p.m. in the 1900 block of North Central Park Avenue, within the Logan Square neighborhood. Firefighters and police officers responded quickly to the scene, which involved two adjacent residential buildings.

Three adults managed to escape the burning buildings. A woman was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition due to smoke inhalation. Two men also suffered smoke inhalation and were hospitalized in fair condition.

At this time, officials have not identified the cause of the fire. Investigators are still working to determine how the fire started and the extent of the damage to the buildings.

Our thoughts are with all those who were injured in this fire, and we sincerely hope each person makes a full and swift recovery from their injuries.

Fire and Burn Accidents in Chicago

Fire-related injuries can be devastating and often require long-term medical care. In urban areas like Chicago, structure fires in multi-unit buildings are unfortunately common. Smoke inhalation, like in this recent Logan Square incident, is a leading cause of injury during residential fires.

Victims of fires often face:

  • Painful burns and breathing issues
  • Hospital stays and costly treatments
  • Emotional trauma and displacement

When someone is injured due to a fire—whether it starts because of faulty wiring, landlord negligence, or another party’s actions—it may be possible to pursue legal compensation through a personal injury claim. A qualified burn or fire injury lawyer in Chicago can investigate who was responsible and determine if negligence played a role.

Victims may be able to recover damages for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost income
  • Property damage
