Part of the roof of a well-known South Loop restaurant collapsed during an extra-alarm fire Wednesday morning.
Flames shot through the roof of Chicago Firehouse, 1401 S. Michigan Ave., when a blaze erupted about 10:30 a.m., according to the Chicago Fire Department.
Roofers who were doing repairs “had an accident,’’ said Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford who was on the scene.
“Before they could extinguish the fire it got into the building,’’ Langford said.
Everyone inside was able to escape safely but flames were still shooting from the roof as of about 11:10 a.m., Langford said.
