A 72-year-old man was rescued from a burning home Tuesday afternoon in the South Side’s Englewood neighborhood.
Firefighters were called to the 7300 block of South May Street to help a man who’d become trapped in the attic, said Chicago Fire Dept. spokesman Larry Langford.
Firefighters from Engine 54 and Truck 20 found the “lifeless” 72-year-old and performed CPR, bringing him back to consciousness, Langford said.
He was taken in serious to critical condition to Stroger Hospital and there were no other injuries.
The blaze was brought under control at the house, which had no working smoke detectors, said Langford.
The cause and origin of the fire were under investigation.
