7 taken to hospital after fire at Greater Grand Crossing apartment building

At least seven people were taken to the hospital after an apartment fire on the South Side.

It happened early Saturday morning at the Lafayette Plaza building in the 0-100 block of W. 71st Street in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood.

Firefighters responded to the fire, where cameras captured a family on one of the higher floors hanging their heads out the window, waiting for help.

Chicago police said an adult and a juvenile were taken to St. Bernard Hospital. Three other juveniles were taken to Comer Children's Hospital. Two women were taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center. 

Police said all were taken for smoke inhalation and evaluation, and no injuries were reported.

It is unclear how the fire started and whether there were any displacements. 

No further information was released.
