Four firefighters were injured when a stairwell collapsed inside a burning Norwood Park home Thursday night on the Northwest Side.
The fire started about 8:15 p.m. in an unoccupied two-story home under rehab in the 5700 block of North Newark Avenue, Fire Media Affairs Director Larry Langford said.
About seven minutes later, three firefighters were climbing a stairwell to the second floor that collapsed, Langford said. The three fell into the basement, as did a fourth firefighter who came to assist.
Firefighters were able to pull all four from the basement and paramedics took them to Resurrection Medical Center in good condition with non-life-threatening injuries, Langford said.
The two-alarm fire was extinguished about 8:50 p.m.
