Firefighters spent hours battling a fire that ripped through an apartment building in Justice Saturday morning.
The fire was reported on South 88th Terrace in a three-story building with a Mansard roof.
Roberts Park Fire Protection District Chief Jeffrey Ketchen told CBS News Chicago that firefighters found heavy fire on the top floor of the building when they arrived.
As firefighters poured water on the blaze, much of the building's roof collapsed.
A resident told the television station that the apartment's management would not allow the displaced residents to take shelter in their office.
"We were told we have to go to the police station for shelter. It's very cold out here. I have a lot of things in my apartment, and I have lost everything," Jaclin Jackson told CBS.
