Here’s a summary from ABC7Chicago.com:

A two-alarm fire broke out in a home in west suburban Oak Park on May 7, 2015. A young boy and a man were rescued and taken to the hospital in critical condition. The boy's 12 or 13-year-old sister was also at the scene and is recovering.

Neighbors reported hearing a loud explosion before the flames started. Firefighters arrived around 11:30 p.m. and found the back of the apartment fully engulfed. The fire quickly spread to a neighboring building, causing both structures to collapse. Officials believe both homes are a total loss.

These images provide a powerful glimpse into the chaos and danger of that night. It’s a reminder of how quickly things can change and the importance of emergency services and community support during such tragedies.

Thanks, Dan.
