Current Events > That Recent HIgh Rise Fire in Chicago?

(+) Yeah! (+)

A Fire by Lake Michigan made the news because the fire spread to 8 more floors before the Fire Department contained it. 9 floors got direct smoke damage and the floors below got water damage. Half the building is divided off by a fire wall but that leaves lots of peeps with no place to live in a town where it costs more than $50 to get a room for the night.

Now $19,000 is missing.

Two disaster restoration workers assigned to a fire-damaged Kenwood neighborhood high-rise, where a resident died and numerous others were displaced last week, entered an undamaged apartment and stole $19,000 from a resident who was out of town, prosecutors told a Cook County judge Sunday .
The resident, however, had a surveillance camera inside her co-op apartment at 4850 S. Lake Park Ave. that alerted her to movement inside her home, authorities said during a bail hearing broadcast on YouTube.
