2 killed in Chicago high-rise fire after saving elderly woman
(MCT) — CHICAGO — Jameel Johnson didn’t like working in high-rises, his family said, always fearing it would be hard to get out in an emergency.
But when fire struck Tuesday morning inside a 16-story Chicago building where he was installing satellite cable, Johnson, 36, didn’t immediately think about his own escape. Instead, he and another man, John Fasula, 50, rescued an 81-year-old woman from her burning seventh-floor condominium unit.
