Several members of the Chicago Fire Department were hurt while battling a house fire Saturday afternoon on 112th and Princeton in Roseland, CFD says.
CHICAGO -- Seven Chicago firefighters were injured Saturday while battling a large house fire in the city's Roseland neighborhood on the South Side.
A warm embrace is all Watts has left. She was walking back to her home of seven years from down the street when she saw it engulfed in flames. A neighbor captured cell phone video while at least 100 firefighters tackled the blaze before, suddenly, there was a loud explosion that rocked multiple homes.
"Everything in there reached its ignition temperature, and once it got a source, it just kinda goes. Everything lights up, and it's the energy and force behind it that push," explained CFD Fire Commissioner Annette Nance-Holt.
