(STNG Wire) Firefighters from several area departments remain at the scene of a two-alarm fire at an apartment complex at 1711 Golf Road, east of Lewis Avenues in Waukegan Thursday morning.
At least one person was taken to Vista East Medical Center, and authorities have a Pace bus on the scene as a warming shelter for persons and pets displaced in the fire.
