Fatal fire in Chicago, 1-25-22

Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:

Chicago police and firefighters responded just before 2 a.m. on Tuesday to a reported house fire in the 8200-block of South Cornell Avenue in Stony Island Park. Upon arrival, they discovered that nearby fire hydrants were frozen, significantly slowing down their firefighting efforts.

An 81-year-old woman, who neighbors described as living alone, was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition. She later succumbed to her injuries. Firefighters found her in the kitchen, just a few steps away from an exit. The tragedy highlights the dangers of living without proper safety measures.

The Chicago Fire Department confirmed that there were no working smoke detectors in the home. In the aftermath, crews went door-to-door in the neighborhood, distributing free smoke detectors to residents. They emphasized the importance of having functioning alarms, which could have made a life-saving difference in this case.

According to officials, the fire may have originated in the basement, and the cause is still under investigation. However, a working smoke alarm could have provided crucial early warning, allowing the victim more time to escape. This incident has sparked renewed calls for public awareness about fire safety and the importance of regular maintenance of smoke detectors.

From Chicago Fire Department Media on Twitter:

Fatal fire at 8215 Cornell. An 82-year-old woman was removed in cardiac arrest and taken to U of C, where she was pronounced dead. No working smoke detectors were found. 911 was called at 1:54 a.m., with Engine 72 arriving at 1:58 a.m. It was a two-story, 25x50 structure with a "Still and Box" alarm.

CFD Public Education will be at 82nd and Cornell at 10 a.m. today to distribute smoke detectors and provide information following this morning's fatal fire.

Preliminary reports indicate the fire may have started in the basement. No smoke detectors were found in the home. The victim was only a few feet from an exit. A smoke alarm could have given enough warning to allow a safe escape. Are yours working?

Update on the Cornell fatal fire. CFD OFI has determined the most probable cause was a wiring issue, and it will be classified as accidental. Please remember to check your smoke detectors—they save lives!
