Three people were rescued after a fire broke out in northwest suburban Streamwood early Tuesday morning.
Streamwood Fire Chief Mike Meyer said crews responded to the home in the 1200 block of North Green Meadows Boulevard just after 1:15 a.m.
Firefighters from multiple departments battled heavy smoke and used multiple ladders to gain access to the house. Meyer said the fire was in the basement.
