The Palatine Fire Department has extinguished a blaze at an apartment building that partially collapsed on E. Dundee Quarter Road.
The Red Cross said 50 to 60 people were displaced in a Palatine apartment building fire Sunday evening. Luckily, no one was injured.Dozens of people are displaced after a fire ripped through a northwest suburban apartment complex, causing part of the roof to collapse Sunday evening.
"I looked out the window and I just saw the building smoking, smoking," said Neftali Bustamante, who lives nearby."We've got a three-story building, 24 units with major fire on the third floor. The roof has collapsed," said Hank Welch, a Red Cross volunteer Illinois disaster response manager. The exterior of the building was left in shambles. Palatine Fire Dept. Deputy Chief Anthony Lavacchi said flames spread from building 12A to 12B Dundee Quarter, which are attached three-story buildings with a fire separation between them."It's devastating. You can see in that one," Bustamante said. "You can literally see the actual closet, the rooms inside. It hurts."
"This is the third building that burned down in this area," said Eric Lopez, who lives nearby. "They seem not to be able to get it under control. There's another building on the other side that's burnt up."
