    Seven hours after Chicago firefighters battled a Sept. 16 dwelling fire, they returned to the scene to find flames coming from the roof of the same structure.

    At 10:13 p.m. the Englewood Fire Alarm Office dispatched a still alarm for a rekindle in the 6300 block of South Winchester.

    Engine 116 reported fire through the roof of the 2 1/2-story dwelling and the response was upgraded to a working fire.

    Firefighters deployed two 1 3/4-inch lines into the upper floor to contain the fire while truck companies ventilated the roof.

    Units on scene: Engines 116, 101 Ladders 41, 50 Tower Ladder 39, Battalions 19, 18, Squad 5/5A, Ambulances 49, 58, Command Van 2-7-3, EMS 455
