CHICAGO — At least five garages burned overnight in the Lincoln Park neighborhood and investigators are now working to determine how the blaze started.
The Chicago Fire Department declared a “still and box,” bringing extra resources to the alley between the 2000 blocks of Dayton and Fremont around 3:15 a.m. Garages on both sides of the alley were fully engulfed in flames.
While firefighters tackled the flames, CPD officers went door-to-door, waking residents and advising them to exit their homes, just in case the fire spread.
Ultimately, no residents were displaced and no injuries were reported. However, CPD said “several” vehicles were damaged. A fire department spokesperson said the fire was essentially out by 4 a.m.
