Fire crews responded to the blaze just after 5 p.m. in the 500 block of North Fulton Street, near Belmont Avenue, after reports of people possibly trapped inside. Firefighters went into rescue mode and searched the home for anyone inside.<\/p>\n

The woman, who wasn\u2019t identified, was taken out by firefighter Connor Mansheim and Fire Captain Frank Gibson. A second person managed to escape the home on their own and was being evaluated by EMS.<\/p>\n

Before fire crews arrived, a police officer attempted to rescue residents but was overcome by \u201can extreme amount of smoke.\u201d<\/p>\n

About 50 firefighters were battling the blaze.<\/p>\n

Fire crews said the woman spent days in critical condition in the burn unit and \u201cagainst all odds, made an incredible recovery and is doing well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mansheim and Gibson talked to the woman, who was in good spirits. She laughed when she was told to ask the firefighter to see his dance moves.<\/p>\n
