Woman Dies Just After 7-Year-Old Passed Away Following Fire at Chicago Firefighter's Montclare Home: ME
The firefighter's wife and three young children suffered smoke inhalation, police said. The two remaining children are still hospitalized in critical condition.
The firefighter, who heard the call about his home come in through dispatch, was taken to the scene by a Battalion Chief and worked to performed life-saving measures on his family before they were taken to the hospital, Langford said. Photos and video from the scene showed a fire truck parked on a residential street, with more than a dozen fire and police responders gathered in front of a home near the corner of Rutherford Avenue and Wrightwood Avenue.
"The sirens kept coming," said neighbor Joel Rivera."When I looked out, it was just the scene you don’t want to see … saw smoke coming from the roof -- and the house was on fire.”
