CHICAGO — Officials say a fire that killed two Chicago firefighters this week was caused by wood or rubbish that was set ablaze.
The fire at a vacant building on the city’s South Side appeared to have been started by an open flame, according to the Chicago Tribune. Fire officials told the newspaper that they don’t know what the intent was of those responsible for starting the fire. The Police Department’s bomb and arson unit is investigating.
Two firefighters died Wednesday after a roof collapsed on them. Firefighters Edward Stringer and Corey Ankum had been searching the burned, vacant building to make sure no vagrants were residing inside.
