Three injured, including firefighter, in Northwest Side fire

By Sun-Times Wire

Three people – including a Chicago firefighter – were injured in a fire Sunday morning in the Galewood neighborhood on the Northwest Side.

A small stove fire broke out about 9:30 a.m. in a residence in the 2200 block of North Newland, according to a Chicago Fire Department spokesman.

An 80-year-old woman suffering smoke inhalation and a firefighter who fell and hurt his wrist were taken in good condition to Presence Resurrection Medical Center, officials said. A 47-year-old man who burned his hands was taken to Community First Medical Center in good condition.
