Firefighters were called to a three-story condominium building at 715 W. Central in Mount Prospect before 5:30 PM on Monday for a reported fire in a unit on the top floor. The first arriving company reported heavy smoke in the area, and the alarm was upgraded to a working fire Code 4. The fire was in a rear corner unit, and as it spread to the mansard roof with flames visible from the outside, a Box Alarm was requested, bringing mutual aid from several nearby fire departments. The fire was contained to the original unit within 20 minutes of the department's arrival. According to the Daily Herald:

A resident was rescued from a third-story balcony of a Mount Prospect apartment building during a fire that left 12 apartment units uninhabitable Monday.

One Mount Prospect firefighter suffered a minor injury during the blaze and was treated at Alexian Brothers Hospital, said Mount Prospect Battalion Chief Henry Dawson.

ABC News shared a neighbor’s photo showing the fire from the rear. Below are additional images from the scene, captured by local photographer Larry Shapiro.
