CHICAGO (STNG) -- Firefighters battled an extra-alarm fire in the Pilsen neighborhood on the Near Southwest Side early Sunday.
A 2-11 alarm was called about 2 a.m. for the fire at 2012 W. 23rd St., according to unconfirmed dispatch reports.
The fire began at the two-story frame home at 2012 W. 23rd St. and spread to one building on either side, according to Fire Media Affairs Chief Kevin MacGregor. The other two buildings were also two-story frame homes, each of which suffered minor damage from the fire, MacGregor said.
The fire was struck out at 2:20 a.m., according to MacGregor. There were no injuries reported from the fire.
A 2-11 alarm sends at least eight engines, four trucks, two tower ladders, five battalion chiefs, a district chief, a deputy district chief, a squad company, an ambulance and the Command Van to the scene.
