Karen Ann Cullotta, Chicago Tribune:
Prospect Heights Fire Chief Drew Smith said one firefighter sustained a minor injury.
“I’m amazed, considering the magnitude of the incident, that there has been no deaths so far,” he said.
Smith said it appeared the fire began in a second-story unit in the complex, which includes four three-story buildings. As of about 7 p.m. three of the four buildings had been destroyed, officials said, and crews were trying to save the fourth building.
