Thick black smoke poured from the windows of a residential high rise Friday afternoon as a fire burned in one of its units on the city’s Near North Side.
The fire could be seen about 3:11 p.m. in the 500 block of North Dearborn Street.
“Oh my god,” Twitter user Mallory Busch said. “Fire up high in a residential building.”
