A man died after a fire broke out early Monday in southwest suburban Lemont.
Firefighters responded about 1 a.m. to the 700 block of Czacki Street and found a family member who escaped the fire and said a man was trapped inside, the Lemont Fire Department said in a statement.
The man, 64, was found dead in the rear of the home, the department said. His name hasn’t been released.
The fire was extinguished within 30 minutes and no other injuries were reported.
