- Two women were injured, including an 84-year-old who suffered burns to more than 70 percent of her body, when a fire broke out Saturday afternoon at a Lakeview East neighborhood high-rise.
Also among the injured and first to the scene were two Chicago police officers who rushed into the smoke-filled building at 3318 N. Lake Shore Drive, banged on doors and helped the women get out, said 19th District police Cmdr. Marc Buslik.
The blaze started about noon in the elderly woman’s fifth-floor apartment.
They also alerted other residents to self evacuate. A valiant effort under trying circumstances. Well done Officers.
