Fire breaks out in home in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood

A fire broke out early Monday in a home in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood.

Flames and smoke were seen spewing from the two-flat frame house at 7159 S. Union Ave., right at the northeast corner of 72nd Street and Union Avenue. Firefighters were seen on ladders as they tried to put out the flames.

Flames were seen raging along the roofline of the structure, and the siding in the back of the house was left charred.

Chicago police said firefighters put out the blaze without incident, and no injuries or displacements were reported.

Sources said the fire was believed to be arson.

The scene of the fire is about a block south of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary Academy of Social Justice, a Chicago public elementary school.
