Saturday morning in Chicago saw a significant fire that left seven individuals temporarily homeless. The incident occurred around 2:27 a.m., when a two-alarm blaze was reported on the third floor of a three-story apartment building located at 6800 South Perry Avenue.
According to Fox32Chicago.com, the fire was declared under control just before 3 a.m., with no injuries reported. However, due to the extent of the damage, the Chicago Department of Human Services stepped in to provide emergency housing assistance for five adults and two children who were displaced by the flames.
