Two civilians and a firefighter were hospitalized for minor smoke inhalation. Another person was transported for heat exhaustion.
– A senior apartment fire in northwest suburban Schaumburg sent four people, including a firefighter, to the hospital."All we know is that it happened on one of the fourth-floor units, and it quickly spread into the other unit," said Shawn Green, deputy chief of the Schaumburg Police Department.
Two civilians and a firefighter were hospitalized for minor smoke inhalation. Another civilian was taken to a hospital in good condition due to heat exhaustion. All are expected to be OK."I use a walker and they were helping me to the fireplace and then they said somebody down the hall needed help, so they all ran to that," said resident Audrey Gallagher."Another policeman in the stairway helped me down and they got me out right away.
It's unclear when residents will be able to go back home, but police said they are working to get the majority of them back by Friday night.
