No one was injured when a residential building in Pilsen collapsed after catching fire Wednesday.
Crews responded to the still-and-box alarm at the two-and-a-half story building about 8:15 p.m. in the 1300 block of West 16th Street, Chicago fire officials said. The alarm was upgraded about half an hour later to bring in extra resources as the building was engulfed in flames that spilled into two neighboring buildings.
Several occupants of the building were displaced due to the fire, officials said. More than 100 firefighters responded to the scene. The fire was put out around 9:30 p.m. Crews stayed on scene to make sure the fire is fully doused.
Officials were investigating the cause of the fire.
