Ten adults and ten children were displaced by a fire in a three-story brick home in the Little Village neighborhood Saturday night.
Initial reports indicated that people were trapped in the building, on the 2400 block of South Drake Avenue, but everyone was able to get out, fire officials said. No firefighters or residents were injured.
The fire was confined to the third floor and attic. Responding firefighters cut holes in the roof as part of their effort to extinguish the flames.
Fire equipment and police cars blocked traffic a block in each direction from the intersection of 24th Street and Drake Avenue.
It's not clear what caused the fire.
