"Getting ready the coolers and stuff, when all of a sudden I saw smoke coming through the alley, looking really bad," Serrano said. "So when they came to the door, I tell them, 'The house is on fire.' It looks like they were sleeping, so who knows what would've happened if I wouldn't have been out here."
"She looked around and she goes, 'Oh my God! My father's still in the house!'" another neighbor, Ramon Ramos, said. "As soon as we opened the door, the old man was standing right there by the doorway, just kind of disoriented."Residents of the buildings said at least 12 people, including children, escaped the massive blaze before firefighters arrived.
While tackling the flames, Chicago Fire officials said two firefighters were hurt. One suffered a heat emergency on the roof and another was cut, prompting a May Day alert that sent over 50 more firefighters to the scene.
