Building collapses in Park Manor in city’s 2nd structure failure of day

A building collapsed Wednesday in Park Manor on the South Side, just hours after another building crumbled on the Southwest Side.

About 3 p.m., firefighters responded to a call of a collapsed chimney in a vacant building in the 300 block of East 69th Place, according to Chicago fire officials.

The collapsed chimney caused a partial roof cave-in, fire officials said. The collapse was possibly caused by the weight of the snow.

No one was injured and two dogs were found inside, officials said.
