Teens Sought in Connection With Chicago Fire, Firefighter Hurt

July 09--Police are seeking three teenage boys suspected of setting a fire in an aisle at a Family Dollar that quickly spread through the store Saturday afternoon.

Three boys between the ages of 13 and about 14 set a fire in one of the aisles of a store in the 3400 block of West Chicago at 2:45 p.m., according to Officer Michelle Tannehill, a police spokeswoman.

Fire crews called a still-and-box alarm for the fire in the building, 3401 W. Chicago Ave. The fire damaged much of the front of the store, and at one point burst through the building's roof, a Fire Department spokesman said.

One firefighter was taken to Rush University Medical Center in good condition following the fire, said the spokesman, Fire Chief Juan Hernarndez. ___ (c)2016 the Chicago Tribune Visit the Chicago Tribune at www.chicagotribune.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
