A man died and a firefighter was being treated for a leg injury after a fire Tuesday in the Rogers Park neighborhood, officials said.
The fire was reported about 7:40 a.m. at a five-story apartment building in the 6600 block of North Sheridan Road, according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Merritt.
A 60-year-old man suffered burns and was taken in critical condition to Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston, Chicago police said. He has since been pronounced dead.
The Cook County medical examiner’s office has not released details about the fatality.
A firefighter suffered a lower-leg injury, Merritt said.
No one was displaced, authorities said. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
