Two teens and a firefighter were injured Wednesday morning after an extra alarm fire broke out in a Roseland home on the South Side.
The fire started about 3:30 a.m. in the 11300 block of South Edbrooke Avenue and was raised to a 2-11 alarm, sending extra equipment to the scene, according to Chicago fire officials.
A 16-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy were rescued from the blaze and taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, where they were listed in serious-to-critical condition, officials said.
A firefighter suffered minor burns to the face and was transported to a hospital in good condition, officials said.
The blaze was “most probably” caused by an open flame ignition of bedding “from the careless use (or) misuse” of discarding smoking materials, the fire department said.
