Lincoln Park Fire Leaves 1 Critically Injured

Another fire broke out Sunday night at 2626 N. Lakeview Ave., and this time, a man was critically injured, according to ABC 7 Chicago.

Fire crews responded to the still-and-box alarm at the high-rise around 7:15 p.m., reports CBS Chicago. Fire officials issued an EMS Plan 1, where upwards of five ambulances are sent to the scene.

While the cause of the fire is not yet clear, one man was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Lake View with serious burns, writes ABC 7. The fire occurred on the 16th floor of the 43-story building and was extinguished by 8:30 p.m.

This is the same building where a fire broke out on the 24th floor in late October last year. Nobody was injured in that fire, and nobody was asked to evacuate.

And on Jan. 26, 2007, a more serious fire occurred in the same high-rise on the 26th floor, killing two elderly residents.
