CHICAGO (CBS) — A fire broke out Wednesday evening at an apartment complex in the Roscoe Village neighborhood.
Video from the Citizen app showed flames engulfing the top floor of the four-story brick apartment building at 1925 W. School St., between Damen and Wolcott avenues.
The fire also threatened a neighboring house. The house at 1927 W. School St. is a working-class cottage-style duplex with Victorian gingerbread trim with decorative brackets.
A newer home at 1923 W. School St. was also exposed to the fire.
The fire department called a still-and-box alarm for additional equipment and manpower. A crowd of firefighters were seen battling the flames.

When the fire brigade searched the building where the fire broke out, no one entered and no injuries were reported.
