Chicago responded to a 2-11 alarm for a fire at 3056 N. Milwaukee Avenue on Monday morning. The Chicago Tribune reported that the fire broke out at 9:24 a.m. in the two-story building, which houses a bakery on the first floor and apartments above. When firefighters arrived, heavy smoke was coming from the basement, and the ceiling appeared to be involved in the fire, according to fire department spokesperson Larry Langford.
The building was empty at the time of the incident, with no one inside. Firefighters faced challenging conditions as the fire spread quickly, forcing them to evacuate the structure shortly after arrival. A Mobile Ventilation Unit was dispatched and deployed to help manage the situation.
