Multiple people displaced after apartment building fire on Chicago's South Side
A two-alarm fire broke out at an apartment building in Washington Park on Chicago's South Side, leaving multiple people displaced. Chicago firefighters responded to a two-alarm fire on the third floor of the apartment building on 56th Street and Calumet Avenue, just after 10 p.m. Video from the scene showed heavy smoke and flames billowing from the third floor of the building. A woman who lives in the building told CBS News Chicago she managed to escape, thanks to a neighbor's warning. She claims fireworks may have been involved. "My neighbor across the hall and her son banged on the door and said our building was on fire, but before that, the people above me at 5645 on the second floor were popping firecrackers or sparklers or something," she said. Fire officials have not confirmed the cause of the fire. Several people were displaced, and the Red Cross is assisting residents.

Mandy Moore Is 'Doing Well' After Her Home Was 'a Near Total Loss' in Eaton Fire, Says Chrissy Metz
NEED TO KNOW January's Eaton fire was one of several wildfires in Los Angeles that left more than 80,000 displaced Mandy Moore was one of the thousands of people who were affected as she previously told her fans her home was "a near total loss" Her former This Is Us costar, Chrissy Metz, gave an update on how Moore is doing in a new interviewFollowing January's Eaton Fire, Mandy Moore is "doing well," says her friend and former This Is Us costar Chrissy Metz. The Eaton Fire was one of a series of wildfires in Los Angeles that left more than 80,000 people displaced, including celebrities like Moore, and destroyed more than 1,000 structures in January. The deadly blaze ignited on Jan. 7 and was fully contained on Jan. 31, along with the Palisades Fire. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! At the time of the catastrophic event, Moore and her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, were renovating their property. According to an Instagram post from fellow designer Emily Farnham, the kitchen had just been completed in December 2024. Six months after the fires, Metz shared in an interview with Extra that Moore is "doing well." "I mean, thank goodness. A lot of the structure was able to be salvaged, which is great, but it's so jarring. It's so life-altering, and she has children and pets," Metz said, referring to Moore's three kids: August "Gus" Harrison, 4, Oscar "Ozzie" Bennett, 1, and Louise Everett, 10 months. "It's just frightening because there's nothing you can do but hopefully get out of there. But she's doing well," said Metz. Days after the fires began, Moore shared with her Instagram followers, "The main part of our house is still standing. For now." "It's not livable but mostly intact. We lost Taylor and griffin's studio with every instrument and piece of equipment they've ever owned. We lost our garage and back house," she wrote, noting that she felt "weird survivors guilt." A month later though, Moore gave another Instagram update on her home, explaining, "We found out this week that while our house is still standing, because of the proximity to the fires/ burning structures (around us on all sides) the contents of our home are a near total loss." "Clothes, furniture, pretty much everything will have to be disposed of…maybe even the walls too," she added. Despite the devastation, she shared in March that she was ready to start rebuilding her home again. Moore shared an Instagram post by her interior designer, Sarah Sherman Samuel, which featured photographs of the guest house kitchen that was once a part of her home.
