Firefighters arrived on scene to find a 3-story residential building with no smoke or fire showing. A fire appeared to have started around a bed in the living area of one unit and was extinguished by the building's sprinkler system. Crews assisted with evacuating the residents and ventiled the smoke from the building. The residents were able to congregate safely in the dining hall and the American Red Cross was requested to assist. After Arson investigators completed their investigation, firefighters conducted salvage and overhaul. Firefighters from Stations 5, 4, 38, 49, 50, 77, 50, 57 and the Village Fire Department responded to this incident.
