According to the Chicago Fire Department, the fire started on a porch at an apartment building, located at 3523 and 3531 N. Sheffield Ave.
CFD confirmed five adults and one child were displaced by the fire.
A closer look shows the removal of existing roof hatches worked well to vent this morning’s fire on Sheffield. Cause & origin still to be determined in the blaze that heavily damaged back porches and the upper floor of the three story building. More at https://t.co/vhbRxCcLib pic.twitter.com/HpZ5rUYGFp

One resident told CBS 2's Jackie Kostek he woke up to alarms and smoke over his head. He said he grabbed his keys and wallet, but he'd thought to grab a safe with a letter his dad wrote him.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.
