Eight people, including two firefighters and a police officer, were hurt Tuesday evening in a fire in the West Pullman neighborhood on the Far South Side. Emergency crews responded about 6:10 p.m. to the two-story frame building in the 11600 block of South Michigan Avenue, Fire Media Affairs Chief Larry Langford said.
Authorities initially received reports of a person trapped and called for several ambulances after finding multiple people hurt when they arrived, Langford said.
