Fire breaks out in Hancock

A fire on the 50th floor of the Hancock Tower left one person hurt Saturday.

The fire department posted pictures of the flames coming from the building as smoke obscured views of the upper floors.

“Firefighters responded to the fire around 2:30 p.m. local time”.

As a result, they’re asking residents who live in the building to stay in their units while firefighters go door to door.

The Fire Department’s media office tweeted that one person was injured, adding in an update that the fire was out. A spokesman could not immediately be reached to provide details.

By 3:40 p.m. Chicago Fire officials declared the fire extinguished and that the cause of the fire is under investigation.
